This landmark structure is one of the largest enclosed footbridges in the world, traversing 6 railway lines and the 14 lanes of traffic of North American’s busiest highway. Inspired by the perpetual dynamism of highway traffic and railway lines, the bridge’s sculptural perforated metal scrim acts as a glimmering shading device during the day and as a glowing line of coloured light over the highway at night, transforming what would have otherwise been a mundane piece of infrastructure into a dynamic urban gateway.
