Client: City of Little Rock
Location: Little Rock, Arkansas
Project Type: Park and Recreation Design
Services: Architecture and Construction Administration
WDD Architects worked with McClelland Engineers on the renovation of the historic Junction Bridge in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. The $5.8 million project converted the former railroad bridge into a pedestrian crossing over the Arkansas River, connecting Little Rock and North Little Rock. The bridge is part of the 32-mile Arkansas River Trail system, providing an important connection for pedestrians and cyclists between the two cities.
The renovation preserved the bridge’s historic steel structure while adding new elevators and stairways to provide pedestrian access from both sides of the river. WDD provided architectural design and construction administration services, working closely with McClelland Engineers to integrate the new access structures with the existing bridge. The renovation preserved the character of the historic bridge while making it accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.
