One of Omaha's favorite tourist attractions is looking to be even more appealing.

The 3-thousand foot long Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, affectionately known as "Bob the Bridge," is adding every bridge's buddy, a troll.

His name is Omar and is described by the city as "new, blue and ready to meet you."

Omar is scheduled to be unveiled next Wednesday afternoon.

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert and Douglas County Commissioner Chris Rodgers will be on hand for Omar's coming-out party along with a number of 3rd grade students.
