The process that could lead to the construction of a futuristic pedestrian bridge at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue is moving forward.

Last week the Las Vegas City Council awarded Innova Technologies a contract to provide a structural review of GC Wallace’s previously completed project design.

Despite the hiring, the city did not have a timeline for when it might bid the project out to contractors or when construction could begin. The project could cost as much as $40 million to build.

“Once the city gets that review, a decision will be made on whether or not to pursue funding and bid the project,” Las Vegas spokesman Jace Radke said in an email.
