Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge Design and Construction

The Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge is an innovative steel arch bridge with a 69m main span and curvilinear approaches along the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the first Americans with Disabilities Act fully accessible 4.3m wide bridge connecting Boston’s historic Beacon Hill neighborhood to the Esplanade Park and Charles River. An overall architectural and structural theme was followed in the design of all bridge components including the main arch, Y shaped approach piers, circular stairs and curved ramps. The bridge is light, elegant and well-integrated into the landscape complementing an adjacent historic landmark bridge and seamlessly blending into the waterfront context.
