Project Overview
The Parkside Pedestrian Bridge will provide safe, well-lit, disabilities-accessible pedestrian travel betweenneighborhoods and a local Metrorail station nowseparated by DC 295 and two sets of railroad tracks just north of the Benning Road interchange.Specifically, the bridge will more directly and safelyconnect the Mayfair neighborhood and proposedParkside development to its west with the MinnesotaAvenue Metrorail and Bus Transfer Stations,Downtown Ward 7 and the Deanwood Community toits east.Currently in the design phase, the bridge will be400-feet-long with three spans and arches at each end.Sides of the bridge will be enclosed with a mesh screen.In addition, to reduce long-term bridge maintenance,repair and cost, the bridge will include sustainabledesign features, such as a weathering-steel truss with anatural brown patina that will never need to be painted,a metal roof, and a low maintenance deck.
