Yes. While the Bayfront Parkway is currently undergoing construction and improvements, the area remains open and accessible. Visitors can still reach key attractions, restaurants, and waterfront spaces, with posted detours and signage helping guide travel throughout the district.

The Bayfront Parkway reconstruction is expected to be fully complete in Fall 2027. The Bayfront Parkway and State Street reopened in September 2026.

Parking is available at several public lots, garages, and access points throughout the Bayfront, including areas near the Bayfront Convention Center, Dobbins Landing and the Erie Maritime Museum. Many attractions are within walking distance once parked, making it easy to explore the waterfront.

The Bayfront Region offers several waterfront dining options where fresh seafood is a staple on the menu. From casual spots with bay views, such as The Sloppy Duck Saloon, to sit-down restaurants, such as Pier 6 Rooftop, Oliver’s Rooftop, The Cove, and Bay House Oyster Bar & Restaurant, visitors can enjoy local fish, seasonal specials, and Great Lakes-inspired dishes right along the water.
