The University of Toledo broke ground on a new pedestrian bridge on Thursday, July 18.
Spanning about 78 feet across Douglas Road, with towers located near the northeast corner of Savage Arena on the western side of Douglas and the intersection of Marwood Avenue and North Westwood Avenue on the eastern side of the road, the pedestrian bridge will more directly connect the University’s engineering buildings to the rest of Main Campus.
Participating in the groundbreaking ceremony, from left, were Rob Lowenstein, project manager at A.A. Boos and Sons; Ahmed Hamid, senior principal director of technical services at DGL Consulting Engineers; Jason Toth, senior associate vice president for administration at UToledo; UToledo Interim President Matt Schroeder; Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz; Ohio Rep. Michele Grim; Ashley Westgate, vice president of UToledo Student Government; and Dr. Mohammad Elahinia, interim dean of UToledo’s College of Engineering.
