ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — Ithaca city officials are eager to cut the ribbon on a trail bridge.

Mayor Robert Cantelmo will oversee a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, June 28 to mark completion of the Black Diamond Trail bridge project. The new bridge connects the existing multi-use trail and provides a walking and biking connection over the Flood Control Channel. City officials say the bridge “enhances the connection between the City’s West Hill area and the Southwest commercial area, as well as the Cherry Street Industrial Park.

The ceremony, which is being held at the east end of the bridge, begins at 2:30 Friday afternoon.
