Bridge Design
Physical parameters for the new bridge were set by the USCG, requiring a navigational channel with a 278-foot clear width and 56’-1” opening height above the 200-year flood water surface elevation
The bridge towers will be approximately 120 feet high and the bridge cross- section will be 82 feet in width and include (two) 12-foot pedestrian walkways, (two) 8-foot buffered bike lanes, (two) 12-foot vehicular lanes and a 12-foot center turn lane/median.
An international design competition was held to hire an architect to lead the bridge architectural design. On October 30th, 2018 the City hired TY Lin International.
