 PROJECT: Nursery Road Bridge Reconstruction Conceptual Design
CUSTOMER: Lexington County Public Works
LOCATION: Irmo, South Carolina

To improve access to a local elementary school,

Lexington County Public Works is rebuilding an
abandoned bridge crossing in the town of Irmo,
South Carolina. Initially, the proposed design for the
new bridge was presented to the public in the form
of traditional 2D drawings, which can be difficult for
nontechnical audiences to understand.
Even with the safety improvement, local residents
were concerned about the new bridge and the
impact on traffic flow in that area. To support public
outreach, the County used created a 3D model and
an animated movie of the project’s conceptual
design, set in the context of the surrounding roads
and environment.
