The new Arlington River Bridge on University Boulevard will open to traffic this weekend.
The Florida Department of Transportation says the new $11.5 million bridge will have sidewalks and bicycle lanes as well as decorative lighting, architectural railings and landscaping at both ends.
Plans call for traffic to be shifted from the temporary bridge to the new one sometime Saturday afternoon, weather permitting.
The final phase of the project, removing the temporary bridge and resurfacing the entire project, will begin soon.
