Technical Description:
North Beach is Northview Christian Life Church’s unique teen hangout specifically designed to appeal to young people. To create an entrance with visual impact, the church decided to incorporate a Continental pedestrian truss bridge as part of the design. Contech Construction Products Inc. worked with the general contractor and church officials to develop a suitable look to the bridge. The bridge design evolved over several weeks and ultimately ended up as a tall KeystoneTM bowstring structure with some special features.
The 50-ft. x 12-ft. steel structure was installed over a shallow drainage ditch and painted a custom color. In addition to the custom color, it also features stainless steel cable side rails and a cast-in- place concrete deck that was stained to match the surrounding sidewalk.
S & B Construction of Indianapolis, Indiana, was the general contractor for the project. The bridge was delivered and installed in less than a day.
