PEACHTREE STREET BRIDGE

  • LOCATION Atlanta, Georgia
  • CLIENT CW Matthews
  • CHALLENGE Large-scale, complex construction on a busy downtown thoroughfare.

Because of the windings of both Peachtree Street and the I-75/85 connector there are two bridges where Peachtree Street crosses the interstate. These two bridges, one north and one south of mid-town, bracket the heart of the Atlanta. To highlight these “Gateways to the City”  the Midtown Alliance, Central Atlanta Progress and the Georgia DOT are directing a major Peachtree Corridor Enhancement project. Henry Incorporated was selected for the signs and metals portion of this work. The project included lighted letters, mesh screen-walls and, on the north bridge, huge nested arches flanking pedestrian walkways along each side of the bridge.

The Peachtree Street Bridge Enhancement is a beautiful modern addition to the Atlanta cityscape and will stand as a local landmark for decades to come.
