Description:

Through a collaboration with the Cultural Development Authority of King County Division of Roads and Entranco Engineers, Cliff Garten Studio transformed the shape and structure of a standard bridge type through the alteration of the deck plan and railing/ crash barrier system. Through the intervention of sculpture, the York Bridge is actively integrated into the landscape of the Sammamish River and an otherwise base piece of public infrastructure is given expression of its place in the larger riparian environment.
