Scope of Work

Lowder Steel provided comprehensive steel services for the Riverwalk Bridge project, including:

  • Structural steel fabrication

  • Steel detailing and coordination

  • Fabrication of freestanding bridge components

  • On-site steel erection and alignment

Special attention was given to structural stability, load considerations, and precise placement to ensure the bridge functioned independently while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding environment.


Execution & Impact

The Riverwalk Bridge serves as both a functional pedestrian crossing and a defining architectural feature at the amphitheater entrance. Through careful planning and experienced field crews, Lowder Steel successfully delivered a structure that meets performance requirements while enhancing the visual character of the site.

This project demonstrates Lowder Steel’s capability to execute non-traditional structures, including bridges and public-facing steel installations where accuracy and craftsmanship are critical.
