Traveling between the above-mentioned facilities is even easier now that construction is complete on a new pedestrian bridge crossing Las Vegas Boulevard in the heart of the Cultural Corridor. The bridge, located near the Cashman Center, sits between the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum/Las Vegas Library and the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. More than just a foot bridge, the structure features an LED artistic design created by David Griggs. The bridge’s artistic element was paid for and coordinated through the city of Las Vegas Cultural Affairs Office. Funding for the Cultural Corridor Pedestrian Bridge was provided by the Bureau of Land Management through the sale of public lands, as authorized by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act. This act allows money from Nevada federal land sales to be used in the state for park and trail projects.
