The 150 ft. long pedestrian bridge connects the once divided Metropolitan University Campus. It stands out from the adjacent urban context as a symbol of the university. The bridge crosses over State Road PR-176 and consists of a precast concrete U section structure supported by two bush-hammered pair of columns at both sides of the road. A wire mesh barrel vault covers the bridge providing safety measures for the pedestrian.
