Cable Suspension Bridge
Community Projects | Cable Suspension Bridge – Unbuilt Structure
Location | To Be Determined.
Materials | Steel construction, steel cables, concrete footings, and Douglas Fir decking.
Design Intent | Inspiration from the old train trestle bridges where many light members form the structure. The four outrigger structures are made of steel using multiple members to create the transparency and lightness of the structure. Continuing with this idea the primary and alternate cable lines support the steel structure beneath the wood decking. Horizontal cable rails contain the bridge to satisfy building code requirements and generate a structure that is both transparent and sculptural in form and materials.
