Through the changing seasons and everyday activities, The Bridge on the Tuck is the background, yet gateway to the community. From the bridge you can observe trucks and cars moving quickly; guardians and toddlers strolling; students running home for lunch; and dogs walking with their owners, while small urban animals scurry away ahead of them.

The silhouettes of people will remind drivers that residents, including children and seniors, are actively using the bridge. By celebrating the wildlife animals that help the Tuck Creek ecosystem thrive, it is hoped that this will stimulate exploration and adventures with friends and families. The bridge is a bearer of all stories for this growing community in Burlington.
