In a city of majestic bridges, it is a relatively modest one. But this bridge near the Brooklyn waterfront became well known for all the wrong reasons.

Now, after closing abruptly nearly two years ago, the so-called bouncy bridge that had linked the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to Brooklyn Bridge Park will undergo repairs that park officials believe should solve, at long last, the riddle of the troubled pedestrian crossing.

The bridge, officially called Squibb Park Bridge, would have been a footnote to Brooklyn Bridge Park were it not for its embarrassing debut. The connection was intended to give residents of Brooklyn Heights easier access to the 1.3-mile Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is cut off from the historic neighborhood by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

But while it was essentially just a shortcut, the bridge was expensive — costing $4.1 million — and like most everything else about the wildly popular Brooklyn Bridge Park, fun and stylish.
