Laurie Lundquist: Mountain Pass Pedestrian Bridge, 1997   Nisbet Road and 36th St. (State Highway 51 just south of Greenway Rd.) Phoenix, Arizona

The Mountain Pass concept was inspired by the jagged profile of the nearby Squaw Peak range. The design uses the flexible qualities of chain link fencing to meet the safety requirements for pedestrian bridges and achieve a sculptural likeness to the mountains. The artist worked with SVR Inc. Engineering to develop the concept. The project is a joint effort between the City of Phoenix and the Arizona Department of Transportation. Materials: concrete, steel and chain link. Dimensions: 300 feet long, 16 feet high
