The Gainesville pedestrian bridge connecting downtown and Midtown could be finished next week. Barclay Fouts, project manager, said crews will spend the next few days touching up paint, pressure washing and cleaning the bridge. People will be able to walk across the bridge as soon as those final cosmetic tasks are complete, which Fouts said could be the beginning of next week.
