The City of Jacksonville, Fla. needed a firm to provide structural, ecological permitting services, drainage and survey for the Cedar Point Pedestrian Bridge.  The bridge is one of the finishing pieces in connecting a large existing trail network. In addition, the pedestrian bridge would be crossing Cedar Creek, a navigable waterway.  Finally, one side of the pedestrian bridge is on land owned by the City of Jacksonville and the other side is on land owned by the US Forest Service. 

A 235-feet, 8-inches timber boardwalk with an 8-feet, 3-inches clear width and two scenic overlooks was designed.  The design included 5-feet and 15-feet spans and one 20-feet span over the navigation channel.  Clearance gauge details were also provided on the timber piles on either side of the navigation channel.

The new bridge connects 28-miles of existing trails within the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve.  The trail provides a recreational space for residents who wish to walk, run or bike in the great outdoors.  In addition, the pedestrian bridge allows boaters to safely pass beneath the bridge.
