A developer mobilized yesterday to begin construction on a colorful pedestrian bridge at the entrance to South Beach, according to Local10.
The bridge is being designed by French artist Daniel Buren, and is titled Walking In, Along and Under the Colors.
Pedestrians will be able to cross from the South of Fifth baywalk to a recently completed park.
The park and bridge are being built as part of approval for the adjacent Five Park tower, which opened in November as the tallest building in the city.
The first phase will include the installation of temporary construction fencing, followed by relocation of underground utilities on Fifth Street.
Excavation for foundations of the pedestrian bridge pedestals on the north and south sides of the causeway is scheduled to occur a few months later.
The anticipated completion is summer/fall of 2026.
