The Shelby Street Bridge in Nashville, Tennessee is 100 years old, and is showing its age. Although it is an architecturally significant bridge, it has become structurally unsound, and can no longer support vehicular traffic. Wanting to keep the bridge, the city of Nashville has decided to turn it into a pedestrian bridge, connecting downtown with the East Nashville neighborhood on the other side of the Cumberland River. Working with landscape architects Hawkins Partners, I designed a set of fence panels that recall the history of Cumberland River travel. In a tight composition of water-jet-cut metal, images of canoes, riverboats, and barges are woven together. The fence panels are installed at four lookout spots on the bridge. Also included in the project are a series of boat-shaped bollards. Used both to separate pedestrian traffic from trolleys that will use the center of the bridge and also as seating, the abstracted boat shapes were formed from concrete, which are undercut to appear to float a few inches off the ground.
