Conceptual, preliminary, and final design

Three new Trinity River Vision bridges will cross over a future bypass channel in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. The bridges on White Settlement Road, Henderson Street, and North Main Street provide a pedestrian-friendly experience and complement the iconic architectural elements of the city’s Cultural District. The designs are clean and modern yet suggestive of the arches of the existing bridges on Lancaster Avenue and Main Street. The V-shaped pier design is slender, streamlined, and touches the landscape gently. The superstructure consists of trapezoidal concrete boxes with clean lines. The bridges enhance the sense of connection between Trinity Uptown and Fort Worth’s most cherished cultural hubs and improve the image of the mostly industrial area adjacent to the new channel. The bridges are illuminated at night for enhanced pedestrian use at deck and below deck levels.
