ASU New Pedestrian Bridge
Boone, North Carolina
Project Summary
The new Rivers Street Pedestrian Bridge provides safe passage for students across a busy State thoroughfare running through campus. The new bridge, constructed in two phases, connects an existing student parking deck with the New Dining Hall. The first phase consisted of two cast-in-place concrete towers faced with brick, supporting a 120 foot span prefabricated box truss steel bridge. The bridge is clad with point supported structural glazing and topped with a standing seam metal roof. The south bridge tower connects to the existing parking structure via an elevated concrete and brick walkway.
The second phase of the bridge project connected the north bridge tower to the New Dining Hall. The bridge crosses over Boone Creek via an 80 foot span and was constructed using a prefabricated half-through pony truss steel bridge.
