Originally opened in 1975, Jack Trice Stadium at Iowa State University (ISU) has hosted football games for the Cyclones for a half-century. Now, the new East Gateway Pedestrian Bridge offers a safe, reliable means for fans to access the stadium over University Boulevard, a four-lane street that experiences heavy traffic on game days. With a need to blend creativity and practicality, Raker Rhodes Engineering partnered with Wells to design the pedestrian bridge, leveraging precast concrete beams, columns, double tees, slabs, and architectural walls in the design.
