In global cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Bogotá, over 500,000 daily trips are made by bicycle, with average distances under 10 km.
As U.S. cities increasingly embrace this sustainable mode of transport, they require infrastructure that doesn't just support this trend, but powers it forward.
The MAR Architecture UHPC Solar Pedestrian Bridge is engineered for this future. More than a simple crossing, it's a self-sustaining power plant and a sound financial asset. A single 75-meter, two-level structure seamlessly integrates 600 high-efficiency solar panels to form a 240 kW generation hub.
Annually, this innovative bridge produces over 348,000 kWh of clean energy. This translates into nearly $50,000 in yearly revenue and a measurable environmental impact equivalent to offsetting 129 tons of CO2—all from the underutilized space above our roads. This is the new standard for public infrastructure: a high-strength, aesthetically striking structure that provides a positive financial return from day one.
