Flagler County was notified Tuesday morning that the Flagler Greenways Pedestrian Bridge over State Road 100 has earned the “National Recognition Award” from American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) in the 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) competition – the “world’s greatest celebration of engineering excellence.” The award will go to Kisinger Campo and Associates, the engineering company that designed the bridge for the county.
“Kisinger, Campo, and Associates did an excellent job designing a unique, one-of-a-kind structure that would enhance the State Road 100 corridor leading to Flagler Beach,” said Flagler County Engineering Department Project Manager Amy Stroger, who oversaw the project. “The inspiration for the design was drawn from the A-frame shape of the Flagler Beach Pier.”
The Flagler Greenways Pedestrian Bridge is situated between Colbert Lane and Old Kings Road. It added more than two miles of added trails to serve as a multimodal connection for the robust trail system that already exists in Flagler County. Benefits to the community are that it provides pedestrians and bicyclists with a safe way to cross a major, high-speed, four-lane thoroughfare. The ramps on and off the bridge are ADA compliant.
