Change the following from active to passive: The architect is designing a cantilevered pedestrian bridge.
A cantilevered pedestrian bridge is being designed by the architect.
"Is designing" is the present continuous tense. In the passive, present continuous becomes is/are + being + past participle.
The object "a cantilevered pedestrian bridge" becomes the subject and the doer moves into a by-phrase: "A cantilevered pedestrian bridge is being designed by the architect."
"Has been designed" (present perfect), "was designed" (simple past) and "will be designed" (simple future) all change the tense of the original.
Hence, the passive form is "A cantilevered pedestrian bridge is being designed by the architect."
