Bramsche Footbridge
Bramshe, Germany
The new Bramsche foot and cycle bridge has a high consistency between design and construction and aims to be a resource-efficient landmark by using a minimum of material. The bridge aims to promote green mobility and create a place to linger, contemplate and interact with the urban landscape.
The structure transfers a common walking and cycling path in two directions. The new bridge superstructure is accessible from both sides and is also barrier-free itself. The standard cross-section of the bridge has a width of 4.90 m between the railings in the area of the shared footpath and cycle path. In the area above the railway tracks, a central girder is provided as an overlay due to the large span. Here, the bridge surface is divided into a walkway and a cycle path area. The clear widths are 3.10 m each and offer space beyond the pure traffic area to create a pleasant quality of stay on the bridge. Wooden seating invites users to pause and linger. The total width there is 7.00 m between the railings.
The Bramsche Footbridge is 237.00 m long and rests on seven piers and two abutments.
