This project represents more than just a physical connection; it’s an investment in equity, mobility, and community. By improving access, the West End Bridge Access Structure will bridge the gap between communities and the riverfronts, ensuring that more people can enjoy Pittsburgh’s world-class outdoor spaces.

As we work toward funding and construction, these renderings highlight the potential of this transformative project. Together, we’re building a more connected, inclusive riverfront experience for all.

The West End Bridge stands as an iconic gateway to Pittsburgh’s riverfronts, yet for too long, it has lacked safe, accessible connections for pedestrians and cyclists. Riverlife is thrilled to share renderings of the proposed West End Bridge Access Structure, an ambitious project that will transform the way people experience and interact with this vital crossing.

These designs reimagine the space beneath the bridge, introducing elegant ramps and pathways that connect the bridge to the riverfront trail system, surrounding neighborhoods, and key city destinations. With seamless connections and a design inspired by the natural beauty of Pittsburgh’s rivers, the structure will provide a safe, inviting route for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.
