NEW ORLEANS– The Magnolia Bridge also known as “Cabrini Bridge” on Bayou St. John is once again open to pedestrians, runners, cyclists, and dogs.

This bridge recently underwent a major $1.3 million dollar renovation project.   If you remember that the bridge was severely rusted, but as you can see now it is painted a bright blue color.

This bridge is located right near Cabrini High School.

Neighbors tell WGNO-TV that they’re happy they now have access to cross the bayou by foot.
