Marion Street Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Earns Engineering Excellence Award

Seattle’s Marion Street Pedestrian Bridge Replacement project has earned the 2025 ACEC Washington Engineering Excellence Awards National Gold Award in the Structural Systems category.  

Serving nearly five million pedestrians annually, this modern structure provides a safer, more accessible connection between downtown Seattle and the Coleman Dock ferry terminal.   

Key features include:  

• ADA-accessible design for all users  

• Three feet wider than the temporary bridge  

• Unobstructed views of the Great Wheel and waterfront  

• Enhanced lighting for safety at all hours  

Congratulations to everyone involved for delivering a structure that enhances mobility while complementing Seattle’s evolving waterfront.
