SURF AVENUE BRIDGE
POSTED ON: 02.07.2006
The proposed pedestrian bridge spanning Surf Avenue at West Eighth Street on Coney Island in Brooklyn will be a signature structure reflecting new opportunities for the Coney Island entertainment district and the ambitious plans of the nearby Aquarium.

The design is based on the idea that the Aquarium is the critical anchor for one end of the world-famous Coney Island entertainment district. WXY therefore designed a parabolic bridge that launches itself across Surf Avenue-connecting the new West 8/Aquarium BMT station to the Aquarium while also providing a formal and iconic marker for the Aquarium and one end of Coney Island.NEWS:
