Confirmed from Nationwide Blvd - Olentangy River Trail Bridge's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Nationwide Blvd - Olentangy River Trail Bridge
The bridge and adjustments to the bike/walking pathways are great. It makes it safer for those who use the pathways and also allows for views of the rivers and skyline that weren't available before.
To be fair, it is a great extension to the Mile. It allows for bikers to easily and more safely get into Columbus. However, all it does mainly is that. The bridge is interesting and it has good views, but not much else.
