Commercial Blvd. <br />Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />"A Signature Gateway to the Palm Beaches" <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />H2L2 Architects/Planners served as a subconsultant to E.C. Driver in association with Kimley- <br />Horn to provide design services for the Royal Park Bridge PD&E Study. During an inspection of <br />the 60 year-old Royal Park Bridge, engineers discovered serious deterioration of the bridge's <br />wood piles. This discovery led to the closing of half the driving lanes while work began <br />immediately on designing a solution for its replacement. <br /> <br />Concerns by residents and elected officials in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach as to the effect <br />of the replacement structure on the built environment necessitated an active and intense public <br />participation process. As part of this process, H2L2 ArchitecUPlanners was retained to assist in <br />the development of replacement structure types and alignments, ranging from tunnels to a high <br />span bridge. Specifically, the task was to study the aesthetic impact on both sides of the bridge <br />and assist the public with visualizing and evaluating the alternatives. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Careful analysis of the available options eventually dictated a low-rise bridge replacement almost <br />doubling the height of the existing bridge. Three different span configuration and surface <br />treatments for this structural type were developed. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />H2L2 scope of work includes developing and detailing the tender house as well as ornamental <br />handrails, surface treatments, abutment and plaza treatments for the PD&E submission. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />H2L2 <br /> <br />,I <br /> <br />ARCHITECTURE - INTERIOR DESIGN - PLANNING - INFRASTRUCTURE <br />
