Completing the incomplete dream of the Lavalin Skytrain. Left abandoned for 40 years; the Skytrain structure was labeled an “amputated bridge” for its inaccessibility. The failed mega project shares the load between the roadways of the adjacent bridge in a gap of 8.5 meters wide and 280 meters long.

Lengthening experiences through the narrowness Squeezed between heavy traffic with just 8.5 meters, The CPSP made rooms out of the narrowness by splitting the space into two interweaving pathways. Elevating all park structures, the CPSP reduces the disruptions caused by traffic visual, noise, and pollution.

Forming Sunrise and Sunset Outlook by intertwining walkways Cutting across the shortest section of the river, the 280-meter appears straightforward in the visual distance. To lengthen the users’ experience, CSPS hides its visual endpoints on both ends by raising intertwining walkways while forming Sunrise and Sunset Outlooks.
