The New Frederick Douglass Bridge

This iconic bridge is a monumental gateway from the “President’s Highway” into Washington’s Monumental Core, connecting Andrews Air Force Base to the White House. A 21st-century, multi-modal hub, the bridge creates a new waterfront destination and connects communities on both sides of the Anacostia River, utilizing innovative national best practices, resulting in a new civic icon with its own Instagram account.

Services included drafting of NEPA EIS Purpose & Need, Urban Design Principles, Visual Quality Design Guidelines, Project Design Review, Place Management Planning, Owner’s Representative for design development during design-build procurement, convenor of Design Approvals Working Group, including NCPC, CFA, SHPO.  Client: District of Columbia, Department of Transportation, 2014-2021.
