Harbor Drive San Diego, California Cable Stayed Pedestrian Bridge
AMECO USA manufactured cable stayed bridge components for the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge in San Diego, California.
The bridge is suspended from a single 131 foot tall pylon set into the ground at a 60 degree angle. The unusual design features a curved concrete deck that is suspended only on the decks inside curve by a single pair of suspension cables. The bridge is constructed using stainless steel and has lighting above and below the deck.
The bridge was built to accommodate pedestrian traffic from the Petco Park baseball stadium crossing to and from parking areas on the other side of Harbor Drive at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. The bridge also crosses over the train and San Diego Metropolitan Transit System trolley tracks and connects the convention center with the Gaslamp Quarter and the East Village.
