I-Oklahoma City iye yafumana utshintsho oluninzi kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ukusuka kwi- MAPS 3 ukuya kwi- Devon Energy Centre yokwakhiwa kunye neCore to Shore ukulungiswa malunga ne- Oklahoma River .
Ngokubambisana nokufudukela kwinqanaba lenxalenye ye-I-40 kufuphi ne-downtown, isixeko sakha i-Skydance Pedestrian Bridge, eyongeziweyo ebonisa ngokugqithiseleyo eyenza ukuba umzila wendlela uhambe ngokukhululekile kule ndawo ehambelana nendawo.
Iimpawu ezintle, ezijikelezayo ze-Skydance Bridge zivula amehlo, kwanabo baqhubela ngaphantsi kwekhulu lexesha. Ngeeholide, isixeko sisebenzisa ukukhanya ukumela umoya oyingqayizivele wemihla okanye ixesha, kwaye amagosa asebenzise umgaqo wokukhanyisa izicelo zomntu ngamnye kunye neqela.
Qonda kuqala ukuba ukukhanya okhethekileyo kwe-Skydance akuyiyo injongo yezorhwebo okanye ukuqaphela komntu ngamnye njengomhla wokuzalwa okanye umtshato. Esikhundleni salokho, kufuneka "ikhuthaze iminqweno yenkampani kunye nenhlalakahle yeSixeko sase-Oklahoma City" ngokukodwa ngokuqonda isizathu esithile okanye ukukhumbula isiganeko esithile. Isicelo sokukhanyisa ibhuloho siyatholakala kwi-intanethi, kwaye ifom kufuneka ifumaneke kwiSebe leMisebenzi yoLuntu ubuncinane iintsuku ezingama-30 phambi komhla oceliwe.
Injongo noKwakha
Xa isahlulo sangasese sendawo ye-Interstate 40 sathunyelwa kwisezantsi kwendawo yaloo ndawo, izikhulu zase-Oklahoma City zazifuna ukudibanisa abahamba ngezinyawo phakathi kwedolophu kunye neendawo eziqhambukayo ze-Oklahoma River.
Ukwakhiwa kwe-Bridgedance Pedestrian Bridge kwaqala ngo-Agasti 2011, njengoko kwakhiwa i-I-40 yokugqibela. Iindleko zokwakha ezigidi ezi-6.6 zezigidi zenkxaso yokwakha zaxhaswa ngemali yomzi kunye nemali yentlawulo, malunga ne-$ 3.5 yezigidi ezivela kwiSebe laseKlahoma leSebe lezithuthi zikaThuthi kunye nezinye ezivela kwisixeko sase-Oklahoma City.
Ukongeza kwizinto zalo zokusebenza ezicacileyo, ibhuloho-ebizwa ngokuba yi-Skydance-sele isona sikhombiso samanje kunye nesimboli esinobugcisa be-I-40 kunye nabahamba ngeenyawo. Abakhenkethi abavela kulo lonke ilizwe kunye nelizwe ngoku baya e-Oklahoma City nje ukuba bathathe imifanekiso esuka phezulu kweso sakhiwo esihle kakhulu, kwaye kubonakala kwiincwadana ezininzi zolwazi khenketho kunye nezikhokelo zendawo.
Ukuyila nokujonga
Emva kokuncintisana koyilo olubandakanya iifemu ezingama-16, i-Oklahoma City yakhetha ukuhanjiswa ngu-Architect MKEC Engineering kunye ne-Butzer Design Partnership ekhokelwa nguHans Butzer. I-Butzer iyaziwa ngokuba ngumyili weSikhumbuzo seSizwe saseKlahoma .
I-Skydance Pedestrian Bridge idalwe kuthiwa iphefumlelwe "umdanso wezulu" we-flycatcher yase-scissor-tailed, intaka yase-Oklahoma. Isakhiwo seenyawo ezili-18 sinamamitha angama-30 ububanzi kwaye sithatha ii-440-iinyawo ngaphantsi kwecandelo elixinzezelekileyo elincinci le-10-lane I-40 engasentla kwidolophu. Amaphiko aphakama ngaphezu kwebhuloho, efikelela phezulu kwii-185 inyawo emoyeni, kwaye ukuthungca ngentsimbi ye-intshi e-66 intshi ephakamileyo ibonisa ubude bhuloho.
Ibhuloho yenziwe ngeenqwelomoya zensimbi ezingenasici ezingabonakaliyo elangeni, kwaye ukukhanya ebusuku kuphuma ukukhanya kwezulu. Amaphiko, ayenziwe kwizinto eziguquguqukayo, abonakala ekhanya ngaphakathi, enza umboniso obalaseleyo kunye nomsebenzi wokuvumela abahambi ukuba bahambe ukusuka edolophini ukuya kwindawo esanda kulungiswa e-Oklahoma River.
