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.

a key component in the plan that will bring
fast and modern commuter rail service to all of Broward County.
