Now that we have identified the opening date for the new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Scioto River, it’s time to name it! The City asked members of the community to help “Dub the Bridge” by submitting their best name ideas. Submissions were accepted through January 31, 2020.
City staff will review submissions and make a formal recommendation to Dublin City Council, who will have the final say.
Members of Dublin City Council have expressed a desire for the name to be strongly tied to Dublin and to be accessible, something people will use on a daily basis. They are also looking for a name that will promote the connectivity of the bridge, which will link destinations on both sides of the river.
Here are some of the names that have been proposed:
- Dublin Bridge
- Dublin Connector Bridge
- Connected Dublin Bridge
- Emerald Connector Bridge
- Emerald City Bridge
- Emerald Crossing Bridge
- The Link
- Dublin 2020 Bridge
Learn more about the bridge. It is scheduled to open March 13, 2020.
