WA provided construction layout for Nashville’s Gateway Bridge, which has garnered national attention. It won the top honor in the “Major Span” category in the National Steel Bridge Alliance Prize Bridge Competition. In November 2005, it ranked No. 9 on Roads & Bridges’ top 10 Bridges List. 

Hailed as the “new front door” to Nashville, Gateway Bridge opened in 2004, reconnecting East Nashville to the Downtown area. Gateway Bridge is Tennessee’s first through-arch structure, as well as the Cumberland River’s first “clear” span of 571 feet, with an overall length of 1,660 feet, a total height of 192 feet, and an overall width of 102 feet. The bridge’s official name is now Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge.
