OKC AND CHICKASAW NATION LEADERS CUT RIBBON ON NEW MAPS 4 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND EMBARK’S FAM LANDING

Velocity BY CHAMBER STAFF OCTOBER 13, 2025

City and Chickasaw Nation leaders gathered last month to celebrate the opening of two major projects along the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City’s Horizons District—the MAPS 4 pedestrian bridge and EMBARK’s First Americans Museum (FAM) Landing.

The 614-foot pedestrian bridge spans the Oklahoma River just north of the OKANA Resort & Waterpark and connects to the four-mile Greenway River Trail at Eastern Avenue. Built from concrete and steel, the $6.7 million bridge adds new lighting and decorative features to the riverfront, improving pedestrian and cyclist access between the south and north shores.

The second project, FAM Landing, is a major addition to the Oklahoma River Cruises system. Funded through a public-private partnership between EMBARK, the City of OKC, the Federal Transit Administration and the Chickasaw Nation, the $6.7 million landing marks the sixth public ferry stop along the river.
