On the other end there is the abandoned tunnel in the hillside next to the west end circle.
If this trail is ever completed, or the river trail is ever extended to mckees rocks (unlikely anytime soon after penndot missed a wonderful opportunity a few years back with the reconstruction of 51), the west end bridge link will be sorely needed. Until then, i can think of 20 places i’d rather see that money spent on bike/ped infrastructure.
