The bridge is a key component of the redevelopment of underused industrial land into park, parkway and recreational uses at the southeast edge of Arvada, an established smaller city within the Denver metropolitan area. Designed in collaboration with Range Engineering of Denver, the 380 foot long landmark structure will be a gateway into the city as well as the last link in a metropolitan wide bike path system unifying two trail systems at the confluence of Ralston and Clear Creeks.

Designed as a cable stayed span, the concrete and steel bridge is identified by it's 100 foot tall mast that supports 250 feet of its length with a series of tension cables. The physical geometry of the bridge is unique. The plan is configured into a gradually tightening arc while in section, the bridge dramatically changes elevation from one end to the other to resolve the differences between the pathways at the creek bank and the park, over 20 feet above.
Cost: $ 1.5m.


Completion: Fall 2001
