The City of Wichita has celebrated the completion of the Harry St. Bridge Project with a ribbon-cutting. The $5 million project hopes to significantly improved traffic, pedestrian and bicyclist safety by reconfiguring the bridge to three lanes of traffic, and adding a sidewalk and multi-use path.
The bridge was originally built in 1955 and was last rehabilitated in 1975. The bridge was later found to be structurally deficient. The City and bridge design team began design work in 2017.
The City hired Kent Williams Environmental Design to design aesthetic enhancements, including artistic features illuminated by multi-color LED lighting.
