SUMMARY:Report on the Cumberland Bridges of Nashville
DESCRIPTION:In February of 2001 the Nashville Civic Design Center was asked to assist Metro Public Works in the selection of a color for the proposed Gateway Bridge. Later\, the study was expanded to include all of the bridges that connect East Nashville and the downtown\, from north to south\: The Jefferson Street Bridge\, The CSX Railroad Bridge\, The Victory Memorial Bridge\, The Woodland Street Bridge\, The Shelby Street Bridge and the soon to be constructed Gateway Bridge.\nThe charge for the Civic Design Center was threefold\: one\, to determine the history and tradition of bridge color in the study area\; two\, to determine a strategy for painting the structures\; and three\, to determine a color or palate of colors based on aesthetics as well as technical factors.\nThe study was conducted by constructing a scale model of the Cumberland River with scale bridges\, utilizing computer simulations of the bridges\, conducting on-site investigations\, and research in the various local archives. Interviews were conducted with persons involved in the construction and maintenance of the bridges\, (paint) manufacturer’s representatives\, a painting contractor\, and other members of the community.\nThe Design Center’s input would not fall on deaf ears. The Shelby Street Bridge project was constructed to the highest design standards including an award-winning lighting design. The Victory Memorial and Gateway Bridges have been painted using the recommended color-scheme. Plans for further bridge improvements are underway.\nTo download a report of this study\, click here [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/k5Lihi/bridgestudy_19_02.pdf]\nArticle Featuring NCDC Bridge Study in MA OJournal www.ojornal.com/site/news.cfm [http\://www.ojornal.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=2677&dept_id=543384&newsid=20361816&PAG=461&rfi=9]\n
