Newport said it couldn't afford bridge's maintenance, now it may buy it GO TO > BACKGROUND Six months ago, the city of Newport was grappling with financial challenges as it sought to maintain the historic Purple People Bridge, a pedestrian and cyclist-only bridge that spans the Ohio River. Newport currently helps pay $9,000 monthly using privately donated funds to rent support shorings on one of the bridge's trusses. That part of the structure required $400,000 in permanent repairs after shedding stones last year, leading to a prolonged closure of the bridge. "Why are we at a critical juncture now?" asked Newport Mayor Tom Guidugli last February.

Now, the city of Newport is working to take over control of the privately owned pedestrian bridge. Where the city's new-found funds came from, is still unknown.
