Tetra Tech is currently working with the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to provide Civil Engineering Services for a 420-foot long modern style and aesthetically distinctive pedestrian/bikeway bridge crossing the Los Angeles River. The project is located on the north side of Interstate Highway 5 and the Los Angeles River, between Silver Lake Reservoir and Dodgers Stadium in what will be part of a much larger neighborhood revitalization project of an MTA rail yard, Taylor Yard, as a complement to the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan project. This bikeway will provide a much -needed link for connectivity to neighborhoods and adjacent parks between the east and west banks, In Lincoln Avenue Pedestrian Pathway Connectivity I Park Lane to Santiago Creek collaboration with Studio Pali Fekete Architects, Tetra Tech designed the civil improvements and bridge abutments. The pedestrian bridge will carry two lanes of pedestrian, bicycle traffic, and includes scenic views of the Los Angeles River, such as the small islands of vegetation and local parks. The project also includes the use of solar power, from the LED bridge, pathway lighting, and signage to the Irrigation systems. This feature provides further safety measures for pedestrians. We also reduced pedestrian access to the channel section by constructing the pathway outside the bank where possible. This would reduce the risk of accidents during a flood event.
