DID YOU KNOW...?
The new Cochran loop bridge is almost complete! If you’re unaware of the bridge or background story, there was a well-traveled bridge on private property connecting the bottom of Valley Drive to the end of Cochran Drive. The city purchased the land to create a formal, city-owned and maintained bridge. It’s a beautiful 1.6-mile walk from N. Peachtree Street —> Sunset Drive —> right onto Valley Drive —> straight down into the cul-de-sac —> cross the bridge onto Cochran Drive—> back to N. Peachtree Street!
