Peters Creek Parkway Bridge

A Western Gateway to Downtown

Larry Kirkland, a public-art designer whose work is installed at Penn Station in New York City and the American Red Cross headquarters, designed the Peters Creek Parkway bridge, which will serve as a western gateway to downtown. The bridge design features a glass barrier wall and columns that adorn the path at either end. Kirkland was inspired by Winston-Salem’s Moravian history and took inspiration from the Moravian star. The spire columns at the four corners of the bridge reflect the star’s spires. The Peters Creek Parkway Bridge near Truist Ballpark presented design challenges relating to a federally mandated sound wall to be placed on top of the bridge itself, however, ingenuity and creativity were applied to develop a solution that is safe and beautiful.
