Lock-Line

This timber footbridge serves as a sensory break to the city’s car-heavy infrastructure. The 220-foot modular design reconnects fragmented green spaces and the Erie Canal through a human-scale path. Built with prefabricated timber trusses on a pre-stressed concrete base, the bridge uses shifting wall heights and curated views to create moments of compression and release. More than just a crossing, the structure invites pedestrians to pause and engage with the natural rhythms of the landscape.
