This beautiful bridge is fun to see and photograph, is great to drive over, and I saw lots of people walking, running and cycling over it. When I think of my visit to Charleston, I will remember the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. What a gift to the community... Form & Function!

5 mile round trip on pedestrian and bike path. Nice views and well designed. Enter bike and pedestrian lane from East Bay Street.

We had to drive across the bridge to experience the view. Wish we would have had the time and weather to permit a walk across. It is well designed for pedestrians and bikers.

This bridge is aesthetically beautiful. You want to stop and look right at it as you go over but that's not a good idea. It the perfect modern way to enter a well loved old city.

I couldn't get enough of looking at this beautiful bridge or driving over it. What a great architectural style.

We travelled over it and then under it. We went and found a place to take pictures underneath the bridge on the Mt Pleasant side and were amazed that there was a big park hidden there. In the park you can roam and rest and walk around. Great little gem.

You can walk or bike over the bridge to Mt. Pleasant. Spectacular views! It is a very modern bridge. At night it is lit and beautiful! For those who remember the old bridges, this is definitely a keeper!

Worth visiting and awing over! they do a Charleston Bridge Run every year, and I am looking forward to doing that one day. Incredible views from the bridge. It has lanes for cyclists and walkers/runners which makes it ideal for a long stroll.

While visiting the city I went on a few runs and one was over this bridge. While running I really got a feel for the bridge and although it is a tough run it was a wonderful experience. The bridge not only spans the distance between Charleston and its large neighboring town of Mount Pleasant but it adds so much to the atmosphere of the city. The modern bridge adds a great contrast to the classic look of so many buildings throughout the city.

We only drove across this and saw tons of people walking and biking this. Just driving across this during sunset gave us some incredible views of Charleston and the waterfront.

This modern bridge links historic charleston with the new suburb of mt. pleasant. The real gem is the wide, well protected 2.5 mile (3km) long pedestrian and bicyclists' lanes.

You cannot miss the while in Charleston. If you can try a walk across the views is great and you will enjoy

The Ravenel Bridge is an architectural wonder and more than worth a trip to see and cross it. Simple one of the most beautiful bridges I have ever seen.

Decent-looking bridge that really does what it was designed to do, which I guess is get you across the Cooper River. If your route takes you across this bridge, by all means, go. It's very sturdy, and can hold lots of cars and trucks all at once. Better than swimming across. OK, really, I think the bridge would be worth rating in terms of biking, or walking, or running across it. We always see people doing that, and it is a popular activity. We've walked on the Golden Gate Bridge and the traffic noise is unnerving; I suspect it's the same on this bridge, unless you're wearing your music.
