Creating a focal point for the woodbridge community

The story behind Woodbridge Crossing, a groundbreaking residential subdivision just outside Atlanta, GA, where innovation meets tradition. Join us on a journey through the creation of a signature feature that not only redefines a community but becomes a living testament to thoughtful development.

"I was relieved that the developers of our community were willing to invest in this neighborhood and build this beautiful bridge for us. This is a monument; a living member of our neighborhood. Upon your approach and standing on the bridge...you think about all the pictures you have seen of covered bridges and you realize that it took effort, thought, and an appreciation for beautiful art to want to put something like this in a development..."
