Composite Advantage: FiberSPAN FRP Bridge Deck Connects Pedestrians With Key Locations In Lower Manhattan As Part Of 9/11 Rebuild Project For Downtown New York

DAYTON, Ohio – Manhattan has an estimated 1.63 million people living in 23 square miles, making the New York borough one of the most crowded places in the U.S. In 2017 Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the Battery Park City Authority chose Composite Advantage’s FiberSPAN fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) pedestrian bridge system to replace the temporary structure installed after the attacks on September 11, 2001. The FRP West Thames Street crossing spans 230 ft. over six-lane West Street and Hudson River Greenway, giving pedestrians a direct connection to Battery Park City from the Financial District.
