I just drove through 10 minutes ago. Looks good. One immediate thought; I had a pedestrian dart in front of me to cross Wilkinson at the bottom of the hill on the bridge. I can foresee someone getting hit, not wanting to walk up to the Mann/Wilkinson intersection where there's a crosswalk.

Clearly a mid-block crossing is required.

Hmm. Sightlines are pretty good. I could see a few doing that but I doubt anyone would get hit.

I remember when a similar style bridge at Craigflower opened, and early on a truck got stuck driving through the cycling/pedestrian walkway, so on this bridge it is just a matter of time.

Maybe the jaywalker just assumed that the road was still closed? Not having a fireworks display to reopen the bridge was a massive oversight and a danger to pedestrians everywhere!
