Notes
The new pedestrian and bicycle bridge at East 54th Street in Midtown Manhattan consists of an elegant clear-span arch bridge over FDR Drive. The bridge connects the adjacent neighborhood to a new linear park on the East River. The bridge design features inclined arches and fencing for open views of the river and Roosevelt Island. All details were designed with a context-sensitive architectural theme and consistent, high-quality elements. The approach spans are ADA- accessible and follow a curvilinear alignment for visual appeal and interest. The new bridge has become a gateway structure along the East River and a source of pride for the community.
