The bridge site is characterized by undulating parkland and the long sweeping curves of the Sheffield Parkway. To complement the natural landscape and create an iconic footbridge, we propose a three-dimensional curved arch with a unique configuration. The arch shape is the direct result of detailed form-finding structural calculations. It will be angled over a curved deck to a point of balance in which the arch structure will not experience bending moments under dead load.
