A ribbon-cutting rite for a bridge on an 8-mile section of the Bay Trail in South San Francisco will be held at noon today.

The complete Bay Trail, which is administer by the Association of Bay Area Governments, consists of 500 miles of a continuous shoreline pathway around the Bay Area, of which 296 miles have been finished.


The conclusion of the bridge on the eight-mile segment in South San Francisco will present employees and residents with recreational opportunities as well as the facility to walk from the San Francisco International Airport to Brisbane.

The South San Francisco Scavenger Company and HCP joined to fund the bridge at a cost of $1.2 million.

Access to the ribbon-cutting ceremony is obtainable via the Bay Trail or by parking in the Alexandria Building parking lot at 450 East Jamie Court and taking a shuttle.
