A two-frame animation shows the current-day view of the Bowker Overpass compared with a rendering illustration of the same view after a new highway project is complete. The current-day view shows a patched-up highway overpass extending over a railroad and multi-lane freeway that runs horizontally across the middle of the image. Beyond the highway, the overpass continues over city streets among the treetops in a park. In the rendering, a new overpass runs along the same course, but two on- and off-ramps connecting the overpass to the surface streets in the distance have been removed, and a second, parallel bridge carries three lanes of traffic and a wide bike and pedestrian path to the left.
