Pedestrian Bridge Improvements

Bridge Structures 6, 7, 17, 102 and 103

Project Overview

The project aims to enhance multiple pedestrian bridges across the Capital Area Greenway. Specifically, improvements will be made to two pedestrian bridges, identified as Structures 102 and 103 along the Marsh Creek Trail in Brentwood Park by replacing the timber decking with new timber or Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) material. Also, a pedestrian bridge, identified as Structure 17, located on the west side of Shelley Lake along the Mine Creek Trail, will also have its timber decking replaced with new timber or Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) material. In addition, two greenway pedestrian bridges, identified as Structures 6 and 7 along the unpaved section of Mine Creek Trail between Sawmill Road and Lynn Road, will be replaced.

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.
