The Providence River Pedestrian Bridge was designed by Detroit-based architecture firm inFORM Studio and structures designer BuroHappold for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT).
Flowing through the heart of the city, the new bridge connects two new waterfront parks and expands Providence's Innovation & Design District. “Current and proposed projects around the new Innovation & Design district stand to add more than 1,600 new residential units and 750,000 square feet of commercial and research space to the area,” said Craid Schwitter, partner at BuroHappold expressed in a statement.
The increase in development surrounding the project will accommodate 4,500 residents and 2,100 new employees, which includes housing that will serve the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Brown University, Johnson & Wales University, and other local institutions.
