Overlook Walk

This transformative design features a unique pedestrian bridge connecting historic Pike Place Market to the revitalized Seattle waterfront. MKA’s civil engineers helped coordinate the design with two other concurrent projects to seamlessly unite the pedestrian walkway with the supporting Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion building structure, the waterfront promenade, and the relocated roadway below. Civil design elements included grading of the Salish Steps and Plaza that addressed ADA compliance along with utility provisioning.
