This highway sound wall features twenty naturalistic colours which represent a selection of local flora, fauna and landmarks specific to the Lynnmour community and the Seymour River area. Merge stands 4m tall and spans 356m along a section of the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy1). The acoustic dampening sound wall is clad with colourful powder-coated aluminum panels.  These panels have been carefully configured to produce a giant site-specific spectrum designed to be viewed by both passing traffic and residents in nearby communities.  On the neighbourhood side find words are matched up with their associated colours.
