Last night, (Thursday, Feb 13, 2020), Chad Thomas, head of structural division at Mattern & Craig, the company re-designing the Wasena Bridge in Roanoke, Virginia, helped unveil the new bridge design to the public. The six span structure will be supported by modern, Y-shaped piers, designed to be cost-effective and to maximize useable space in Wasena Park located below the bridge. The design also incorporates multiple aesthetic features such as accent lighting, congregation/observation overlooks, aesthetic railings and a new round-about at the north end of the bridge. Additionally, bike lanes and sidewalks have been expanded, making it easier to cross the bridge on foot or on bike.
