ROCK HILL, S.C. — A new federal grant could put a Rock Hill pedestrian bridge back on track.

In 2024, the city wanted the bridge to be a downtown centerpiece, but funding got pulled.

The bridge was just approved for $1.5 million in grants, our partners at the Rock Hill Herald reported.

The first grant in 2024 was for more than $10 million.
