n eye-catching pedestrian bridge with
a tensile membrane roof is keeping
Jacksonville, Fla., transit users protected
from the elements.
Jacksonville Transit Authority's vision
of a regional multimodal hub is coming to
a reality with the Jacksonville Regional
Transportation Center (JRTC). Located in
the heart of the downtown LaVilla area, the
JRTC will integrate key local, regional and
intercity transit services in one location.
In Phase II of the project, Big Span
Structures LLC of Summerfield, Fla., was
contracted to provide a design-build tensile
membrane structure to provide protection
from the sun and weather elements on
a connecting pedestrian walkway bridge.
The 2,725-square-foot tensile canopy system
features white PVC membrane and V-shaped
steel elements on the side column areas.
One of the challenges BigSpan overcame
was to design a compensated shape so that
by the time the truss was laying over the two
pedestals, the truss would deform to its final
shape, according to Michele Taylor, Big Span
development manager. That compensation
had to be translated to the interface
connector brackets to the canopy columns.
Taylor added that the fabrication and painting
of the bridge's decorative V-shaped steel
elements in conjunction with the main steel
was a labor-intensive process. Another
challenge involved coordinating with the bus
terminal and local authorities to ensure that
transit could operate during installation.
Completed in May 2020, the project's
architect was Michael Baker International.
