Pedestrian Bridge Design Experience In addition to the project experience provided in the Standard Form 330, we are highlighting two pedestrian bridge projects that have relevance to the Bridge Park. Highlighted Project 1: 25th Street Pedestrian Bridge crossing the FDR Drive Relevance to Bridge Park project: •Pedestrian bridge over major arterial with heavy traffic •Design approach providing three lanes of traffic in each direction The bridge spans over the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens, NY and is part of the Kew Gardens Interchange Reconstruction which is an H&H design project. Design included provisions to allow three lanes of traffic along the southbound and the northbound Van Wyck Expressway to be continuously open except for short duration night closures for safe girder erection. Highlighted Project 2: Sandy East Side Resiliency Pedestrian Bridges Relevance to Bridge Park project: •Pedestrian bridges with park elements •Design approach providing three lanes of traffic in each direction H&H provided conceptual and final design for two new pedestrian bridges to further enhance pedestrian access to Manhattan’s Lower East Side waterfront area. The overall aim of the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project is to fortify neighborhoods and infrastructure from future storm surge and rising sea levels, as well as improve recreational opportunities and accessibility to the park and waterfront. Both the Delancy Street and 10th Street bridges tie into parks and include park elements such as trees and glass safety walls like the Bridge Park concept.
