The Country Club Way Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge is located over the US 60 Freeway at the Country Club Way alignment located between McClintock Drive and Price Road. The bridge connects Rotary Park and the Ward School campus on the north side of the freeway with Cole Park and Bustoz Elementary School on the south side of the freeway. The bridge connects both sides of the freeway, linking the schools, parks, neighborhoods and other activity centers. The
completed project will also incorporate lighting, landscaping and connected multiuse paths.
Local public artist, Laurie Lundquist, was selected to collaborate with the bridge project engineers, architects, City staff and area neighbors to create a unique artist-influenced bridge structure. The art design is entitled "Flyover Bridge" and uses more than 100 steel T-beams on the roof structure of the bridge. The "Flyover Bridge" beams move up and down for the length of the structure, giving
it a light, flowing character.
The bridge was completed in 2004.
