桥梁长度 250英尺（约合76.2米）

上周，公园联合桥的剪彩仪式于科罗拉多泉市进行。公园联合桥向公众开放，拉开了美国独立日周末的序幕。

The City of Colorado Springs kicked off Independence Day weekend by opening Park Union Bridge to the public, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

这座桥将公园与市中心连接起来。桥与相邻的美国奥林匹克和残奥会博物馆综合体采用了同一设计团队。桥梁的灵感来自运动员们对抗重力的运动，250英尺（约合76.2米）的曲线形钢结构架在铁轨上空。两个互锁的环从铁路场的两侧伸出，连接博物馆和公园。

This pedestrian gateway connects America the Beautiful Park to downtown Colorado Springs. Designed by the same team as the adjacent U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum complex, the Park Union Bridge takes its inspiration from the gravity-defying motion of athletes, with a 250-foot curved steel structure that floats above an active railyard. Two interlocked loops, stretching from either side of the railyard, connect the museum and America the Beautiful Park.

这座桥在材料和几何上都达到了适宜的效果。混合钢结构系统充当了拱和桁架，优雅地展示了从市中心到派克峰雄伟山脉的景色。

The bridge is an exercise in fitness - both in terms of material and geometry. The hybrid steel structure system functions as an arch and a truss, elegantly preserving views from downtown to the majestic mountain ranges of Pikes Peak.

这座桥将越发庞大的行人自行车道系统“缝合”起来，包括派克峰绿道和米德兰道。桥面宽度很大，可以安全地容纳行人和骑自行车的人。

The bridge stitches together a growing network of pedestrian bicycle paths including the Pikes Peak Greenway and Midland Trail running alongside Monument Creek, with a generous width that safely accommodates pedestrians and cyclists alike.

在最宽的地方，桥的两边各有一个眼洞，桥的东边是博物馆和市中心，下面是一个看火车的平台，西边是落基山脉。在晚上，沿着桥的灯光从轨道一边照射到另一边，给人一种速度感与运动感，同时为行人和骑自行车的人提供照明。

At its widest point, an oculus at either side of the bridge frames the museum and downtown to the east, a platform for trainspotting below, and a distinct look out to the Rocky Mountains to the west. In the evenings, lighting along the bridge traces a single vector from one side of the tracks to the other, giving a sense of speed and motion while providing illumination for pedestrians and cyclists.

DS+R负责合伙人Benjamin Gilmartin说：“我们很兴奋能看到科罗拉多泉的人们拥有这座独特的桥，它不仅是连接A点和B点的一种方式，而且是一个新的地标。许多家庭在洞眼前停下来，欣赏博物馆、公园和派克峰雄伟的山脉。骑自行车的人沿着它250英尺的长度顺畅地骑行，伸出手去触摸它光滑的弧形钢拱。在这个特别的独立日周末，游客们不仅惊叹于他们下方的火车，还惊叹于远处绚丽的烟火表演。”

DS+R Partner-in-Charge Benjamin Gilmartin noted: "We were thrilled to witness members of the Colorado Springs community take ownership of this unique bridge, not just as a means of connecting point A to B, but as a new landmark. Families paused at the oculus to take in views of the museum, the park and the majestic mountain ranges of Pikes Peak. Cyclists gliding along its 250-foot length reached out to touch its smooth curving steel arch. And on this special Independence Day weekend, visitors marveled not only at the trains they were hovering above, but at an amazing display of fireworks in the distance."
