Pedestrian bridge shop drawings approved; delivery expected in early 2025
Summary
City staff reported that contractor shop drawings for the pedestrian bridge are under final review and fabrication is expected soon; staff noted delivery in January 2025 is likely but scheduling must balance creek‑work timing and minimize bridge downtime.
City staff told the commission that contractor shop drawings for the pedestrian bridge have been reviewed and civil/structural engineering checks are underway; staff expect fabrication to proceed after final approvals and anticipated delivery in early 2025, likely in January. The bridge design includes four panels, natural steel finish and wood decking; staff said the finish will weather naturally and reduce long‑term maintenance.
Commissioners asked whether concrete abutments could be poured in advance to avoid wet‑season delays; a staff member said the team is weighing tradeoffs, including minimizing the bridge’s out‑of‑service period and avoiding in‑channel disturbance of the creek. Staff noted some concrete work is largely outside the channel and that sequencing remains under review.
