Easy access to the zoo
despite bridge construction
 |
| Don't let a little construction keep you away
from a day of zoo fun. |
|
Beginning July 9, the Allen County Highway Department will close the
Sherman Boulevard bridge over Spy Run Creek for repair. As a result, a
section of Sherman Boulevard near the zoo will be closed until November
2007. But don’t worry, you can still get to the zoo and park
conveniently! Here’s how:
From the north:
Take Sherman Boulevard or Wells Street to Franke Park Drive. Park in the
gravel lot adjacent to the Diehm Museum and walk across Sherman
Boulevard to the zoo entrance.
From the south:
Take Sherman Boulevard to the main Franke Park Entrance. Park as usual
in the paved lots.
Just follow the colorful zoo signs if you’re not sure where to go.
When the work is complete, the bridge will be wider and safer, with
sidewalks on both sides and a bike lane. Thanks for your patience!
