University Gateway Bridge

University Gateway Bridge is a 460-foot-long cable-stayed foot-bridge in Spokane, WA. The three-span bridge crosses MLK Jr Way and three BNSF railroad tracks to connect the WSU campus to a developing area. The bridge consists of rolled steel girders supported by 32 stay cables that connect to a 120-foot-tall concrete arch, positioned between the roadway and the railroad tracks. The project is seen as a lynchpin in the expansion plan for the area – which is expected to generate approximately $1.6 billion and support 9,276 jobs over the next 20 years.
