This project involved the design of a railroad grade separation between the Burlington Northern Railroad and Orchard Road to eliminate the at-grade crossing at this increasingly busy roadway/railway intersection. In addition, a pedestrian bridge was included parallel to the railroad bridge to provide continuity to a local trail system. The County desired an aesthetic treatment for the structures that was an upgrade from the typical railway structures.

During the design process, HBL introduced a horticulture motif by using the Boston Ivy leaf as a theme. This theme was recreated in large scale using rubber form liners in the concrete formwork to create large, 4-foot square Boston Ivy leaves that were incorporated into the flat expanses of the bridge abutments and piers. In the largest abutment, these leaves were randomly placed across the 90-foot wide concrete face.
