Providence River Pedestrian Bridge
Winner: American Architecture Award, Bridges & Infrastructure 2020 and IES Illumination Award of Merit 2020
CJL Engineering was contracted to do the lighting design of a new pedestrian bridge in Providence, RI on the existing piers from the I-195 relocation project. The bridge connects Brown University to downtown Providence and has spurred commercial redevelopment and revitalization of the surrounding community. The challenge was to create a safe, welcoming environment with lighting fixtures integrated into the bridge architecture, and within budget constraints, energy code allowances, and dark sky compliance.
