This model is a prototype of how the space under the railroad underpass would look once the tunnels are closed and the sculpted gates are installed.

An abandoned railroad underpass will connect the Downtown Greenway from Lee to Spring Garden Street in the next phase to get underway Wednesday, April 13, 2011, in Greensboro, N.C. ( Lynn Hey, news-record.com)

Photos by Lynn Hey/News & Record Dabney Sanders, Downtown Greenway project manager, stands near the abandoned railroad underpass that will connect the next phase of the Downtown Greenway from Lee to Spring Garden streets. The tunnels on either side of the structure will be blocked off with gates designed by Jim Gallucci. The middle part of the structure with the X-shaped support beams will be the walkway through the area.

Gallucci hasn’t decided on the final design of the gates, but this prototype is suggestive of what they will look like.

Courtesy of Mid-Ocean Studio Rhode Island artist Brower Hatcher created “Gateway of the Open Book” for the Downtown Greenway. Hatcher’s creation includes smaller embedded sculptures that Greensboro artist Frank Russell created with local schoolchildren. It will be installed on Lee Street near the Freeman Mill Road ramp.
