Railings and other architectural details will be modern in style reflecting the design of the Central Ohio Science Institute and other recent buildings in the Civic Center.
I'd like to learn more about this COSI place

Why is this construction taking so long?!? Christ, they put up the 5 mile long Mackinac Bridge in less time!
Or for a more local example....the Lane ave. bridge went up between two football seasons.
What's the deal? Lack of other projects for the construction company to do--draw it out as long as possible?

In my opinion the bridge contruction has gone pretty quickly. Can you give a date on when they started hajames? Do we know that the Contruction has even been delayed or beyond it's completion date? Before I would publicly post a complaint I would try and find this information out.

Fireworks spectators first to use Rich Street bridge
By Pamela Engel
The Columbus Dispatch
Monday July 2, 2012 7:11 AM
The new Rich Street bridge will be open to pedestrians for Tuesday’s Red, White & Boom fireworks show, but vehicles will have to wait. Construction workers are putting the finishing touches on the $32 million bridge, which had been slated to open in April. Work, which began in March 2010, slowed this spring because of high water, said Nancy Burton, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation.
