Bridging Community and Nature
The Heatherwood Golf & Villas Pedestrian Timber Bridge of Setauket, New York
The Heatherwood Spy Ring Golf Timber Pedestrian Bridge Project has connected this 55+ active community in the picturesque Long Island town of Setauket, New York. The Heatherwood Timber Pedestrian Bridge weaves together the fabric of a golf and villa community while embracing the surrounding beauty.
A Bridge of Unity and Togetherness
The Heatherwood Timber Pedestrian Bridge isn't just a physical structure; it embodies the essence of community living.

Harmony with Nature
Amidst the greens and fairways of the golf course and the tranquil charm of the villa community, the Heatherwood Bridge bridges the gap between engineering and natural beauty. Its design speaks the language of the surrounding environment, making it a part of the landscape as much as the landscape is part of the community.
