Hotfoot Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 I heard a rumor on another forum that there are plans to build a new spectator bridge at Barber from the Museum over the track to view the Museum turn and the track beyond. What a cool idea! Quote
ScrmnDuc Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Rumor control has it that the bridge will access the museum expansion that is to be inside the track. Quote
rchase Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 VERY cool. I have often been known to observe from the upper levels of the museum before a track day or school. Being able to get beyond the glass would be great for hearing and seeing better. Quote
rchase Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Hey. Rumor no longer. Take a look at the Barber Museum Facebook page. Construction has started. https://www.facebook.com/BarberMuseum Quote
rchase Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Construction on it is finished. Here's what it looks like coming out of the Museum corner. Quote
Hotfoot Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Posted May 12, 2015 That is so cool! Can't wait to see it in person. Quote
rchase Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 I was concerned that it would change the perspective of the exit of the museum corner but they put a lot of thought into the placement and construction. Low solid bridges with supports close to the edge of the track always seem to "pinch" the space visually for me. This one has the supports behind the barriers on each side. Since you can see mostly though the structure it's like it's not even there. Quote
