The bridge connects otherwise disconnected segments of Park Boulevard, allowing pedestrians easier access between East Village and the waterfront.

It is 550 feet (170 m) long, which makes it one of the longest self-anchored pedestrian bridges in the world.

[3] Completed in March 2011, the bridge was built to allow pedestrian traffic on Park Boulevard to safely cross six sets of railroad tracks and Harbor Drive.

The bridge crosses over six lanes of traffic on Harbor Drive, a rail yard and trolley tracks, and is adjacent to Petco Park and the San Diego Convention Center.

It has been described as "a sleek, nautically themed bridge with a very nice view of the city".
