The Belleview Pedestrian Bridge, Dallas, Texas

Uploaded by HalffLAandPlanning on Oct 10, 2011
The Belleview Pedestrian Bridge is a project conceived for the City of Dallas, Texas by Halff Associates, Inc. The proposed 660 linear foot double suspension bridge spans the Union Pacific Railroad, linking The Cedars neighborhood with Cedars West including Riverfront Boulevard and the Trinity River corridor. The goal is to provide pedestrian and cycling connectivity across the formerly impassable railroad to future parks, trails, and residential / mixed-use development. An arrival plaza serves as a threshold and viewing platform. The plaza and bridge capture and frame spectacular views of the downtown Dallas skyline and the Trinity River basin.
The bridge design comprises 125-foot and 80-foot high steel arches, each holding in suspension two pedestrian decks curved horizontally in opposite directions. The steel arches lean 15 degrees to the vertical, opposite each other. A 50-foot high spiral ramp provides access to the base of the large steel arch on the southwest side of the bridge. A set of steps parallel to the spiral ramp ensures flexibility of use.
Enriching the Dallas skyline and clearly visible from northbound R.L. Thornton Freeway, this suspension bridge is meant to stand out as an iconic landmark. As the surrounding Cedars area continues to grow, the powerful image of the double suspension bridge may spearhead the branding of the area. Consequently, the Belleview Pedestrian Bridge, through its sweeping steel arches with dramatic views to downtown, can be stylized into its own form to identify the Cedars community as a truly unique destination within Dallas.
