Pedestrian Bridge Improvement Project

Pedestrian Bridge Improvements

Project Overview

The project aims to enhance multiple pedestrian bridges across the Capital Area Greenway. Specifically, improvements will be made to two pedestrian bridges along the Marsh Creek Trail in Brentwood Park by replacing their timber decking with Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) material. Additionally, a pedestrian bridge located at mile marker 2 on the west side of Shelley Lake along the Mine Creek Trail will have its timber decking replaced with a concrete deck. Furthermore, the project includes replacing the timber decking of two pedestrian bridges along the unpaved section of Mine Creek, from Sawmill Road to the intersection with the paved Mine Creek Trail, using Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) material.

History

The Capital Area Greenway System was first adopted by City Council in 1976. This plan proposed a system of linear parks located primarily along rivers, streams, and creeks, and included the opportunity for an interconnected system of pedestrian trails across the region.
