Highway 99W Pedestrian Crossing

Spanning 900 feet across a major highway and two adjacent streets, this 14-ft-wide, 5-span bridge links existing and future bike and pedestrian paths to Sherwood High School, making it safer and easier than ever for students and community members to cross busy roadways on their daily commutes. KPFF managed the project from alternative development and design through construction and provided civil and structural engineering, surveying, and environmental permitting services.

The project broke ground in February 2024 with local teams leading the effort from day one. The custom steel structure along with other major elements of the bridge were fabricated locally and transported to an adjacent site where the five spans were assembled in sections.

KPFF designed on-grade approaches to effectively blend with the City’s infrastructure and meet essential ADA requirements. With striking, alternating upright and inverted arch trusses and architectural lighting, the Highway 99W Pedestrian Crossing is visually distinctive and functional – a bold new landmark that reflects the City’s values of safety, accessibility, and sustainability.
