Padden Way Pedestrian Overpass
Share: 
Description
This bridge carries pedestrians over Padden Parkway, a highway in suburban Clark County. The bridge is placed so that it is a continuation of 145th Avenue, besides that it does not carry vehicular traffic.Cable-stayed is a relatively rare design choice for a bridge, and is somewhat surprising for a pedestrian bridge in a utilitarian location. It would be interesting to find out whether there is a structural reason for this decision, or whether it was for decorative purposes.
