Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge Design

City of Phoenix, Arizona

TranSystems was the prime consultant for design of a 2-span steel-tube-truss pedestrian bridge. Contract plans and construction services were also provided for the project. Design of the 250-ft-long, 12-ft-10-in.-wide structure was driven by an artist's concept for truss shape; the complication of a misplaced pier was turned into an aesthetic advantage by "bending" the bridge at the center. Curved, cantilevered oval ramps of structural steel on steel columns transition to concrete ramps on grade, meeting ADA requirements while minimizing right-of-way.
