ASSABET RIVER TRELLIS

West Concord, MA

 

The Assabet River Bridge responds to West Concord’s need for a pedestrian walkway connecting two disparate parts of town--Baker Avenue Business Park to West Concord Village business district. The Assabet River Trellis is an enclosed lattice bridge drawn from the New England covered bridge type. The diaphonous skin provides shade and protection from the elements, while its’ volumetric form lifts upwards at the center, framing memorable views out towards the river.
