Rock Creek Trail Bridge provides opportunity for safe passage and for symbolic connection with Montgomery County's historic landscape: the era of water mills. Rock Creek Trail Bridge connects trails and neighborhoods with county parks and open spaces crossing heavily traveled Veirs Mill Road. The design is inspired by the Rock Creek and the watermill era, specifically by historic Cabin John footbridge. The artwork is integral to the design carrying watermill imagery through a number of forms: planters, concrete piers and fencing designs. Our project introduces native plant restoration and modular geometry that enhances the experience of passage, creating lively shadow gardens.
