Oklahoma City, OK.
2008
Commuters driving along the rural farmlands will encounter the bold two-tone Heritage Bridge, which is based on the natural colors of the environment and Oklahoma’s aesthetics. Driving closer, a woven pattern, reminiscent of indigenous belts, pottery and quilts, is visible along the parapet and pier edges. A natural stone pattern accentuates the bridge and fills the wing walls. Once at the bridge, the dynamic central shield, which appears like a belt buckle, sharpens into the emblem from the state flag. Passing under the bridge, travelers see the woven pattern extend around the top of the pier and an interlaced basket pattern stamped on the embankment.
