CLASSIC.Love the blue bride.Local spots to eat right around it. Good to do that then go for a walk on the river and just mosey around.Some boardwalk spots are under construction right now. But overall nice area to hang during sunset. So many spots to walk to!

One of the best attractions of Grand Rapids!! It’s nice to get clicked on the bridge irrespective of the season. Night view is beautiful when the bridge is lit with blue colour. Did you know? - You could get the bridge lit up with your own colour combinations if you are holding any public or charity event or an event showing a mark of respect. You need to contact the respective authorities for it.

Just a normal bridge made of cement. Has some color which is nice but I dont get the hype. I guess its the most beautiful in GR

Always fun to visit the Blue Bridge. Usually after we spend the morning at the GRPM.

I have shot a couple of weddings here and have always thought the location was super pretty. There are plenty of places nearby to take photos, with a range of scenery from more of a urban look, to more of a secluded garden look, to some close views of the river. I would highly recommend it. =)

Syringes in the water liquor bottles everywhere with pan handlers and homeless treating it like their living room smoking pipes and drinking liquor openly. Yea. Real great bridge to visit.

This is a nice relaxing area to stroll around at night. The people carry about their evening, and its great for photo opportunities. If youre looking for something to pass time or just to hear the water moving by, he is your place. The view of the city at night is nearly breathtaking.

Got to enjoy my time on the bridge while visiting the city, Grand rapids has a lot of unique features that exceed in both aesthetic and appeal of those in similar sized cities. The blue bridge is one of them.

Great spot for taking pictures and just hanging out. This bridge is over the Grand river and is amongst several other bridges but stands out because of the color of the bridge and the lightings. The view of downtown Grand Rapids is pretty great too. Ideal place to see fireworks during 4th of July firework display event as well. Overall, a great spot.

The Blue Bridge is a really cool foot bridge that appears to be a retrofitted rail bridge. So its pretty huge for a foot bridge. Big enough to act as a music venue! When I was there Dan Deacon put on a free show as part of art prize. It was really cool and a totally unique experience. If GR ever puts on a public performance on the Blue Bridge, I highly recommend attending.

Very well-run restaurant. The electronic ordering was cool and nice that you can customize your items on a one-by-one basis. Best news they follow the order to the letter and get it right!The biggest challenge, when it comes to customizing is knowing the standard amount of an ingredient compared to more - a picture of the approximate amount would be more helpful than a vague statement.The restaurant itself is maintained to a high standard and I really enjoy the modern look of this particular franchise. Kudos to you!

The Blue Bridge has a beautiful view. In Sept and Oct 2019 some horrid noises are projected from the bridge, an the name of art, ruining it. Hopefully it will be fone soon.

We need to shut down traffic on the bridge while the firework show is happening. Maybe suggest community works volunteers to manage traffic and directs people to open public restrooms during the firework shows.

Historical bridge always brings back fond childhood memories of me and my Dad either walking it, riding a motorcycle, or him encouraging me to just cross ut when I was learning to drive and thought I would be to close to oncoming vehicles.

Seemed sturdy despite the mass amount of people on it. Was very...bridge-y. Makes traveling across water a breeze. Would recommend using the blue bridge and not the alternative swim across the river. Will be back.
