The artist worked with the engineering firm of BRW, Inc. to design the bridge. The rounded lines of the bridge create a graceful, flowing shape. The surface has a fractured granite pattern and the surrounding landscape is sculpted with earth mounds and contours. Corner columns are exposed and lit to lift the structure up and create the feeling of a gateway.
