Project Description
Two giant Bicycle Wheels complete with its rims and spokes towers on both ends of a pedestrian bridge. The wheels have a 25’ diameter, were fabricated at the Ace Fence yard in the City of Industry. The wheel was split into 4 sections for ease of transportation to the galvanizing plant and to the jobsite where they were welded into one piece. To this date, these two giant Bicycle Wheels perched on both ends of the pedestrian bridge over Los Feliz Blvd. is still one of the Scenic places decorating the panorama of the Greater Los Angeles area.
