Information on the Bridge Design Exhibit

The purpose of the Bridge Exhibit is to share the Signature Bridge Concepts for the Peace Bridge Project. World-class bridge designers FIGG/MENN have collaborated in the development of five Signature Bridge Designs. Each of these concepts has been evaluated by a team of specialists for its relationship with the environment and is respectful of bird and fish populations in the area.
