This pedestrian bridge is a key crossing on the Siboinebi Path that runs for 4.5 miles along the Winooski. Siboinebi, pronounced “see-bo-WEE-neh-bee” is the Abenaki word for “river water”.
Once a dark expanse of water, the lighting of the bridges from Bailey Avenue to Granite Street has transformed Montpelier's riverfront. From your vantage point on the Winooski pedestrian bridge, you can best appreciate the beauty of Taylor Street's bridge lighting design upstream and just make out the twinkling lights of the Bailey Avenue bridge through the trusses of the 1905 railroad bridge downstream.
