Reimagining the New River Crossing

Broward County​ has a vision for downtown Fort Lauderdale! This vision will be transformative to the urban landscape of downtown and will feature an iconic, instantly recognizable landmark: A reimagined New River Rail Crossing – to complement the city's progressive skyline.

The New River Rail Crossing bridge system will be one-of-a-kind in the nation and will revolutionize transit usage across Broward County! The bridge system will symbolize the sleek, modern design and vibe of Fort Lauderdale's downtown.

Combining form with function, the bridge system at the New River Rail Crossing will create immediate benefits for transit riders, local communities and the marine industry. The designs under consideration would bring unique bridges to life, not only positioning Fort Lauderdale as an innovator in urban design but also creating enduring, visually stunning additions to downtown Fort Lauderdale's urban landscape.
