Bynum To Announce Arkansas River Pedestrian Bridge Design Winner

Tulsa will learn the winner of the Arkansas River Pedestrian Bridge design challenge early Monday morning. Mayor G.T. Bynum will unveil which of two designs was chosen in an 8:30 a.m. news conference.

The process started back on March 20 when the City of Tulsa asked for bridge designs to replace the old, structurally deficient bridge. A bridge selection committee narrowed 234 responses to four that went before the public for feedback.

The bridge designs were narrowed to two finalists back on May 1: The Gateway and The Crossing.  The architects of each design were given 30 days to make adjustments based on public feedback and budget constraints.

News On 6 plans to live stream the event beginning at 8:30 a.m.
