UVA Ridley Bridge

The University recently opened a new bridge over Emmet Street just a few yards to the north, connecting Newcomb Road South with the new Contemplative Commons building. The new bridge complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act, which the old bridge – with sets of stairs at either end – did not.
