Peace Bridge Design to Change - Environmental considerations result in recommended 567 ft high two-tower cable stay bridge being dropped in favor of a lower profile bridge. Project slated to begin construction in late 2009.

(BUFFALO, NY/FORT ERIE, ON) - Background: Two and a half years ago a bi-national design jury selected a 567 ft. high, two-tower cable stay bridge, designed by Christian Menn, as the recommended bridge for the Peace Bridge’s capacity expansion project. The City of Buffalo, Town of Fort Erie, and the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority all concurred and it was the recommended alternative carried in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for agency review and public comment. The DEIS was issued in September 2007.
