Design Concept

The architectural concept positions the bridge as a symbol of renewed connectivity and urban integration, addressing a long-standing physical barrier.

Aesthetics: The structure is designed as a light and elegant steel structure that blends discreetly into its surroundings. Its horizontal lines offer a calm, open profile.

Integration: The design ensures seamless continuity with the town's mobility network by connecting directly with existing footpaths and cycleways.

Structure and Engineering

The structural design focuses on clarity, reliability, and minimal visual and environmental impact.

• Material and Deck: The bridge is a steel structure featuring a walking surface of anti-slip metallic decking.
• Clarity and Reliability: Its structural clarity ensures both aesthetic value and technical reliability.
• Ground Disturbance: The supports and foundations are carefully designed to minimize visual impact and ground disturbance, allowing the bridge to integrate respectfully with its context.

Sustainability (Regeneration/Resilience)

The project's sustainability benefits derive from its role in encouraging active transport and its sensitive approach to the natural environment.

• Mode Shift: The bridge plays a vital role in reducing car dependency and encouraging active travel (walking and cycling), supporting local and regional planning goals.
• Ecological and Urban Quality: It strengthens ecological connections and contributes to the overall quality of the urban environment.
• Landscape Harmonization: Materials and planting choices are used to harmonize the infrastructure with the natural and urban fabric of the area.
