The Liberty Bridge

In case you were wondering about the picture at the top of this website, it’s the Liberty Bridge in Falls Park in downtown Greenville:

The park’s most striking feature is a unique pedestrian bridge that curves around a waterfall on the Reedy River. Named the Liberty Bridge at Falls Park on the Reedy, the 355-foot (108 m) long suspension bridge is supported by cables on only one side, giving an unobstructed view of the falls. It was designed by Boston firm Rosales + Partners with German firm Schlaich Bergermann & Partner as structural engineers and completed in the fall of 2004. It was awarded the Arthur G. Hayden medal for innovative design in 2005.

It’s pretty impressive, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Browse through this gallery to see more pictures of the bridge and the park:
