Pedestrian Bridge over Old Salem Bypass,
Old Salem, North Carolina

Designer:
DCF Engineering, Inc., Cary, NC

Contractor:
Beers Construction Company, Winston-Salem, NC

The timber pedestrian bridge crossing the Old Salem Bypass was design and constructed as a gateway to the historic village of Old Salem, linking new parking facilities on the other side of the busy Old Salem Bypass to Old Salem. The new bridge enhances safety because pedestrians no longer have to cross the busy highway, and the need for automobiles inside the historic district has been reduced.
