The West 7th Street Bridge in Fort Worth, Texas, is a modern architectural marvel designed by a TxDot engineer to replace the structurally unsafe Van Zandt Viaduct, which spanned the Clear Fork of the Trinity River from 1914 to 1954. Dedicated in November 2013, the bridge features 12 precast concrete arches and provides vital connections between downtown Fort Worth and the Cultural District, accommodating both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
This 30-foot wider bridge enhances accessibility with dedicated lanes for bicycles and pedestrians on each side of its four traffic lanes. Its striking illumination, upgraded in 2016 to a multicolor LED system, adds to its visual appeal, making it a significant landmark in the area.
