City Holds Design Competition for Downtown Bridges

Part of Downtown Roseville's revitalization includes the re-design of three bridges and the City wants your input.

A workshop set for Oct. 2 will kick off a design contest for the Downtown Bridge Project. Residents will have a chance to share their visions for the bridges: The replacement of the Rube Nelson "Icehouse" Bridge in Downtown Roseville and two new bridges, one providing a link from upper Royer Park to Downtown Roseville, and a bridge linking Downtown Roseville and lower Royer Park.

Bridge design ideas will be used by the design teams to help bring the Downtown Roseville vision to life, according to the City.

A brief presentation will be held at 5:30 p.m. followed by a public workshop until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2 at the Children's Art Center in Royer Park, 190 Park Drive in Roseville.

The bridge designs are part of Downtown Roseville's revitalization; other projects include a possible roundabout, Town Square construction and relocating Fire Station No. 1.
