Interesting. Didn't realize that the SSR bridge and Marketplace dock were going to be combined into one structure.

Any estimated date for completion of the SSR bridge?

Looks nice. It's interesting to see that they are employing a pull in style dock. I'm curious to see how it works out.

Looks like it wont open until the birds are done putting on their final touches!

However, I do hope this is open during my trip...

Last time I checked they were building the entry path to the dock. Hopefully it will be done in the next few weeks as the boat is nice to have when you park at West side.

seems like an odd out of the way off the beaten place to put the marketplace boat dock, being all the way over there most people probably won't even see it/ realize it exists

It's not that far away from where the old dock was. Plus, the only guests who are going to use it are OKW and PO. (I think?) It'll be one of those "if-you-need-it-you-know-where-it-is" situations.

i'm sure there will be several Largish signs, as well as maps.

Presumably the Marketplace/West Side/PI water taxi will also stop there.

Definitely harkens back to the LBV Marketplace days. Love it.

Of note is that the parking garages do not "loom" over Disney Springs as some had hoped, um, I mean feared. Well done TDO and CAD. Well done!

Looks really nice. I like the color of the woodwork. Very well done.

A Jungle Cruise skipper told me the new dock is made from hickory. You have to be careful when it's wet (like in the photos) because it's a slippery hickory dock.
