Can you ride/walk your bike across the Ambridge Woodlawn bridge right now?

It's closed:

But sometimes even though a bridge is closed it is easily and safely crossable by foot.

We tried to cross it a month after it closed and there was no getting around the fences on the weekend when they weren't working. We had to do Stoops Ferry Rd. not sure of its current state.

OK, well that completely answers my question as this would be on a weekend when they weren't working and is also to avoid stoops ferry. I'm assuming the fence situation hasn't changed in the last few months. Thanks!

Is this a You'll Fall In The River If You Get Past The Fence type of closure, or a We're Too Stupid To Think That Anything Besides A Car Might Use The Bridge type of closure?

Probably a "Contractors insurance doesn't want to cover what any nitwits might do on the bridge" type of closure.

Tried to ride across two weekends ago, no go. You'd fall in the river.

"You'd fall in the river."


Unless you were riding really fast, right?



OK, well, Stoops Ferry it is.
