Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) and the Midtown Alliance are hosting a competition to find the best conceptual designs for two bridges over the Downtown Connector.

The Atlanta Bridgescape Competition will select the best design for the existing bridges – one in Midtown at 10th Street and one in Downtown at Courtland Street/Ralph McGill Boulevard.

Additional information about the competition and details defining the design parameters are available on the competition’s website at AtlantaBridgescapeCompetition.com. Submissions for the Atlanta Bridgescape Competition are due by March 3.

The Atlanta Bridgescape Competition will be conducted in collaboration with the Architecture and Design Center and will coincide with the 2015 National Convention of the American Institute of Architects, held in Atlanta, May 14-16, where winning entries, one for each bridge, will be announced. Each winning team will be awarded $8,000.
