Something big is on its way to Buffalo! A 260-foot-long signature pedestrian bridge that will connect Buffalo's Lower West Side to Ralph Wilson Park has crossed the Atlantic. Earlier this week, the bridge began its journey through New York Harbor, where it will eventually make its way up the Hudson. In early July, it will travel across the state through the Erie Canal before landing on the shore of Ralph Wilson Park in mid-July.
