The site (a former Union Pacific rail yard) is a reclaimed browns field project and part of the City’s 61-acre master plan development.
The cast-in-place trio of supports were designed to receive the entire length of the yard constructed bridge which had to be flown into place in a 45 minute span of time between train runs. Twin elevators coupled with an exterior helical stair serve the vertical transportation needs of the bridge, while opposing metal clad awnings that gently rise from the core, provide essential shading for pedestrian users. Custom graphic metal perforated panels were installed on each side of the walkway providing a windbreak as well as outwardly expressing the interior function.
