Mayor G.T. Bynum also released a video about the bridge finalists. Watch below:

“This process has been such a strong reminder of the passion and creative talent we have in our community,” Mayor G.T. Bynum said. “The Selection Committee had a really challenging job in narrowing the field to these four finalists. There were so many outstanding ideas, but the Committee had to consider not just appearance and use, but also the construction budget we have to work with. I’m thankful for everyone who submitted a design to us, and who took the time to dream about what our city can become.”

The budget in the design of the new bridge is $24.5 million. The winning design will be announced on May 1.
