No, it’s not open. There’s still construction equipment, platforms, gravel down there.

There's apparently going to be a whole restoration project to get it cleaned up and accessible again.

Exactly. It's clearly a mess down there - they built up some platforms for the cranes, minor debris left from the collapse, the gravel path they used to get equipment down there, etc. And there's supposed to be some sort of public art on the underside of the bridge. (Not sure the final plans are public yet. This is the latest I could find.)

I assume it'll be awhile before it opens up. A lot less urgency down there too. But given ho much they had to tear up to rebuild the bridge at an amazing rate, there could be some really cool opportunity to do significant landscaping to really make an amazing creative moment in the park.
