Lewis & Clark College Pedestrian Bridge

The new clear-span pedestrian bridge expands beyond the original in order to avoid new foundations within the environmental zone. Eliminating interior supports and utilizing micro piles as abutment supports limited the heavy equipment required within the ravine. Wood trusses provided a roof along the top chords and walking surface along the bottom chords. Locally-sourced components were fabricated off site and shipped in sections, reducing installation time and cost.
