PROJECT: Great Northern Bridge Overpass

LOCATION: North Olmsted, Ohio

ROLE: Bridge Architect

ENGINEER: Osborn Engineering

YEAR: 05/2022 - Present

The City of North Olmsted was in need of repairing an aging overpass, crossing I-480. The city wanted to take this opportunity and create a signature gateway. Since the existing bridge could not be modified, the City sought to create a unique railing design to welcome visitors to the city. Apexx Architecture was selected to be the prime consultant for this new gateway project. Apexx created a unique railing design that avoids decoration while emphasizing direction through a dynamic form. Users are encouraged to exit towards the sloping railing directing them toward North Olmsted. Maxim is the lead bridge architect on this project.
