An obsolete Boone County pony truss bridge was transformed into an iconic neighborhood landmark when it was wrapped with new a canopy, lighting and imagery. With integrated seating, shade and lighting, "Bridges" has become a place to meet, reflect, observe and relax.
Working with Hubbell Real Estate Development, the artist, Dennis Reynolds, provided a vision for the Bridge District public art project. The pattern he designed was inspired by the bluegills (below) that are found in the adjacent Des Moines River.
Beeline and Blue had a role in printing and installing the bridge's beautiful lexan panels. We collaborated with the artist to test multiple options to find the right technical solution that provided the desired effect while being durable and affordable.
The memorable public art project remains part of the Bridge District as it extends the riverfront into the neighborhood, encouraging people to interact with their surroundings.
