Park on the other side.. Not downtown side.. It's free mostly.. Parking on downtown side is around 20$

You can park anywhere and the steps is beside Joe crab shack

Yes, it is still open.

Yes

I am not sure about security. It was daylight when we were there. I would not recommend being there alone at night. We did see many homeless people camping in the general vicinity.

You'll need a mask anywhere you go in Nashville. 6ft distancing is still in place.

The Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge has an interesting history, originally employed for vehicular traffic using what was then a design (concrete truss) unusual in large spans. In the 1990s, due to severe structural issues, the bridge was expensively refurbished for pedestrian use, only, with features that include elevators and dramatic lighting effects. During the refit, it was named in honor of local journalist John Seigenthaler. Famous for his vocal support of First Amendment rights, he was injured by thugs during the Freedom March. That's just a quick summary. I would encourage you to Google both topics for more information. .

There are a few parking garages. I recommend a parking app like parkwiz to find cheap parking. Some street parking is available however it is very hard to find this without paying.

You shouldve asked him. Could be under maintenance/construction, closed for a movie shoot, weather issues, etc
