The elliptical cross section swells slightly in the centre, narrowing at its ends to heighten the sense of movement. It will also feature LED lighting effects and a sound system.

The bridge spans 42m over a busy roadway and has an overall length of 104m. The 55m span section and 49m ramp section will be set in place on Saturday.

This structure represents a collaborative effort between architects, engineers and steel fabricators. It is being built by Sellen Construction. The architect SRG Partnership has already won an award for the design from AIA Washington, a council of the American Institute of Architects.
