The Pedestrian Bridge will be designed by the same team that successfully completed six stainless-steel bridges and that brings a strong FDOT experience to this project. This pioneer use of a forefront technology will provide premium aesthetics within a unique setting and a safe and durable asset for the community. The design concept incorporates the following core ideas Efficiency and Economy ► depending primarily on the structural concept, emphasizing simplicity, minimum number of components and minimum dimensions. Elegance is a more subtle factor, related to the size, shape, proportion, transparency and harmony between the bridge's components and surroundings, among other qualities.

In addition, all foundations have been placed out of the utility corridors. Foundations consists of cast -in-place concrete shafts or auger cast. -3-
