This concrete bridge is for vehicular traffic, but also has a sidewalk on both sides for pedestrian traffic. It crosses over Hogans Creek between two parcels of Henry J. Klutho Park.
The inscription on the bridge reads:
Hogans Creek
April 1974
"Hogans Creek forms downtown's north and east borders as it stretches from the St. Johns River to the Shands Jacksonville medical center. Once known as Jacksonville's "Grand canale," the creek is named after John and David Hogans. In 1823, the Spanish government validated John Hogan's claim to the Springfield area, which was then known as "Hogans' Donation." The 225-acre Spanish land grant to Daniel Hogans makes up the neighborhoods of Fairfield and East Jacksonville.
The creek also served as the eastern border of the ancient Timucua city, Ossachite. Ossachite thrived about 1,000 years ago, but survived until about 300 years ago."
