The new bridge would span from South Drive, near the Campanile, to the northwest side of Morrison Hall. The project scope includes the bridge structure as well as necessary landscape restoration and pathway connections at both ends of the bridge and in the affected area underneath the span, including creek restoration or mitigation as applicable. An existing concrete bridge, which does not meet ADA guidelines, would be removed. In conjunction with pathway improvements to be completed by the Clean Energy Campus Project at North Field, the Project would address a significant accessibility gap by creating an accessible north-south pathway from the new Bancroft Parking Garage to the center of the Campus Park. The design intent is to create a minimally intrusive crossing that aligns with ADA requirements, minimizes effects on the creek zone and surrounding landscape, aesthetically fits the campus context, and aligns with the campus’s constrained capital resources to implement the project.
