Downtown Greenville is bisected by a wooded valley park containing the falls of the Reedy River.

The link gently slopes into the ravine and is supported by twin inclined towers and a single suspension cable with thin cable suspenders only on the side away from the falls, allowing for unobstructed views.

The twin towers and suspension cable are visible from vantage points around the city, calling attention and drawing visitors to the public park, falls and river.

[1][2] The original bridge was criticized for not only blocking the view of the Reedy River, but for also attracting criminals.

[5] The Liberty Bridge was completed in 2004, with Miguel Rosales of Boston-based transportation architects Rosales + Partners providing conceptual, preliminary, and final designs, construction services, and community participation to the City of Greenville.
