Jamboree Bridge

Jamboree Bridge

Summer 2026

Facade

The Jamboree-Michelson Pedestrian Bridge in Irvine, California is redefining what a civic infrastructure project can be. With a bold Corian® facade and over 2,500 unique triangular panels, this bridge brings together cutting-edge fabrication, visionary design, and the expertise of MR Walls. Here’s how our team helped turn this extraordinary vision into a soon-to-be Irvine icon.

A NEW LANDMARK FOR IRVINE IN THE MAKING

The vision for this bridge began over five years ago, in early conversations with Hunter Ruthrauff at TY Lin International, the architect and designer of this bridge. We provided advice from the outset and engaged in collaborative discussions about pricing and attachment method options.


Construction is currently underway and slated for completion in the summer of 2026. This project demonstrates what’s possible when architects, engineers, and fabricators push boundaries together. For MR Walls, it’s a proud milestone that blends innovation, precision and artistry to set a new benchmark for public design.

2,500 Unique Triangular
Corian® PANELS


Up close, the cladding reveals a mosaic of over 2,500 individually shaped triangles, each precision-fabricated by MR Walls. The panels are mirrored for a total of approximately 5,000.


Traditional fabrication techniques simply wouldn’t work at this scale or level of complexity. Each panel is crafted from grey Corian® solid surface and CNC-machined for a perfect fit.  We developed proprietary algorithmic software to digitally map, number, and draw every unique piece, ensuring each panel’s geometry was translated flawlessly for CNC production.


ALGORITHMIC DESIGN AND SEAMLESS ASSEMBLY


One of the most exciting challenges was realizing the architect’s vision of an undulating, seamless facade. Digital modeling was crucial for planning the invisible connections and intricate geometry. The attachment system utilizes custom L-metals, securing every panel from within the bridge’s substructure.

The cladding will be installed from within the bridge itself, an approach that eliminates all visible fasteners and makes the geometric form clean, uninterrupted, and striking from every angle.

LIGHT, SHADOW AND MOVEMENT


As light passes through select triangular Corian® panels, the bridge becomes an ever-changing artwork, casting geometric patterns onto the surrounding space. The interplay of material, geometry, and natural light elevates the pedestrian experience to something truly extraordinary.

At MR Walls, every project is an opportunity to blur the line between art and architecture. The Jamboree-Michelson Pedestrian Bridge, brought to life with the vision of architect firm TY Lin, stands as a testament to what’s possible with creativity, collaboration, and technology—reminding us that even the most utilitarian structures can become works of art.
