Pedestrian Bridge to Link Modes in Riverside, CA

The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) in Riverside, CA, marked a milestone in the construction of its Corona Transit Center with the June 14 installation of a 56,000-pound pedestrian bridge that will join the future transit center with a nearby Metrolink commuter rail station.

Work crews suspended the pre-built, 80-foot bridge from a crane, hoisted it over the rail tracks, and fastened it to 75 different points of contact on existing structures.

When it opens later this year, the $6.5 million transit center will offer eight bus bays, a covered pedestrian plaza and parking lot, as well as a stairway and elevator to the bridge providing access to the Metrolink station.

RTA Board Chairman Jeff Comerchero called the bridge installation “a major turning point in the construction of the Corona Transit Center” that “reflects the fact that travel between buses and trains will be easier than ever before.”
