The Innovative Pedestrian Bridge and Park Will Reconnect Wilmington to Its Waterfront
Atlas was selected by the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) to provide construction management services for the Avalon Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade Gateway project.
The project, , aims to enhance pedestrian access and create recreational space in Wilmington, California. When completed, this landmark public access project will connect the Wilmington community to the waterfront at Banning’s Landing Community Center.
“Over the past few years, we have seen Los Angeles make significant investment in Wilmington and its surrounding communities to improve streetscapes and enhance recreational space for its residents,” said Atlas Infrastructure Business President Tom Price. “This partnership allows Atlas to help POLA improves public access to the city’s waterfront and create meaningful recreational space for the community, while honoring Wilmington’s cultural heritage.”
The project involves building a 1,300-foot cable-stayed pedestrian bridge spanning active rail lines and Water Street, as well as a 12-acre Promenade Gateway park featuring an entry plaza, picnic areas, parking facilities, restrooms, playground facilities, landscaping and other public amenities.
Atlas will provide comprehensive construction management services to help deliver this complex, multi-disciplinary project that integrates transportation infrastructure, public open space and community-focused design, all while managing safety, quality, schedule and coordination with ongoing rail operations.
