Southwest Airlines Pedestrian Safety Bridge

Dallas, Texas

A key part of new development on Southwest Airlines’ headquarters campus is a new $14M, 1,150-linear-foot pedestrian safety bridge. The bridge connects the Wings office building, Flight Training Center, and the new garage to the Training and Operational Support (TOPS) building and Network Operations Center (NOC) next door, as well as to the existing headquarters building across Denton Drive.

The pedestrian safety bridge allows employees to travel safely within conditioned pathways across the campus, avoiding dangerous at-grade crossings at Denton Drive and from the DART light-rail line, which bisects the campus.
