Timber Bridge

The Timber Bridge proposes a new connection between Greenpoint and Long Island City, addressing a long identified gap across Newtown Creek. The project introduces a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle crossing that expands access to transit, the waterfront, and adjacent neighborhoods.Designed as a floating timber structure, the bridge prioritizes non vehicular movement, offering a safer, more direct alternative to the heavily trafficked Pulaski Bridge. The bridge is conceived as a floating timber structure supported on pontoons, using a lightweight system that allows for efficient construction and adaptability.In addition to circulation, the project engages underutilized waterfront and rail yard edges, supporting new opportunities for public space and connectivity. It reflects Brooklyn NOW through its focus on access, reuse of existing urban conditions, and a more human centered approach to infrastructure.
