NORTH NINTH
North Ninth Gateway
2002-2006, Salina, KS
Vicki Scuri SiteWorks with Wilson & Company: Troy Eisenbraun
Sponsored by City of Salina
North Ninth is one of two City entryway projects. This project
involves the retrofit of an existing bridge; replacing the median and adding
fifteen colorful lights sticks that are angled at 65 degrees. The light
sticks crisscross activating the "railroad patterned" brick median creating
a graphic sculptural symbol that is visible for some distance. The North
Ninth Bridge crosses a small creek. It would be barely noticeable without
the Artwork. The light sticks mark it and provide counterpoint to its surround
of truck stops, motels and Interstate 70. North Ninth Street was the
original northern entryway to downtown Salina.
