Peter DeFazio Bridge South Elevation Across Alton Baker Pond BW

            Peter DeFazio Bridge (1999) is a pedestrian and bicycle suspension bridge across the Willamette River in Eugene. Its eye-catching form displays interesting and unique architecture, with a modernist take on the classic suspension bridge. The DeFazio Bridge is celebrated for providing transportation and recreation opportunities that are in harmony with the natural environment, conveniently connecting several multi-use pathways and serving as primary bicycle-pedestrian artery between downtown Eugene and neighborhoods north of the river. Gradual grades on main span, approach ramps and stairs make this bridge the functional equivalent of the ultimate freeway spaghetti-interchange for pedestrians and bicyclists, yet its artful architecture compliments the beautiful urban park setting of Alton Baker Park. The DeFazio Bridge enhances accessibility to, and use of, the park – a marvel of modern bridge engineering. The bridge was designed by Jiri Strasky of Strasky Husty and Partners, and OBEC Consulting Engineers, built by Mowat Construction Company, and named after the Oregon Congressman. Lane County, Oregon, USA.
