existing railroad trusses, with weathering steel designed to develop
a protective layer of rust over time. A guardrail of aluminum panels,
each uniquely perforated with imagery evoking the surrounding natural environment, reflects the bridge's LED lights at night. The panels
also wrap the concrete elevator and utility core on the downhill side.
The project was completed in 2020.

Grand Avenue Park Bridge began as a project to replace deteriorated
underground stormwater overflow pipelines with an aboveground
utility bridge across railroad tracks and a roadway. Then federal
grant money allowed the city of Everett to integrate a much-needed
pedestrian bridge as well. Seattle-based LMN Architects partnered
with Seattle-based engineering firm KPFF to insert pedestrian ramps
and stairs above, around, and inside a sloping truss, offering views
of Whidbey Island and the mountains, and connecting Grand Avenue
Park to the marina and mixed-use development along the waterfront.
Two ramps serve as switchbacks to navigate the steep site's grade
change, eliminating the need for an elevator on the uphill side.
The designers drew inspiration from the Pacific Northwest's many

Motorists traveling on the Køge Bugt Highway now see a constant
invitation to choose more sustainable forms of transportation when
they pass beneath Køge Nord Station's pedestrian bridge. The
station, which opened in 2019, includes the enclosed passageway
over the freeway and a park-and-ride facility on the other side. Cobe
and Dissing+Weitling Architecture, both of Copenhagen, and the
engineering firm COWI of Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, configured the
bridge in a gentle S-shaped tube, clad on the exterior in aluminum
and on the interior with wooden slats.
Each end of the bridge is extensively glazed to bring in natural
light. Expansive windows along the north edge of the tube frame
views of the surrounding landscape; smaller apertures in the slats
on the south let in additional daylight while minimizing heat gain.
Five elevators and stairways provide access to the footbridge. The
station links a new high-speed rail line connecting Copenhagen and
the city of Ringste with an existing commuter train line.
