The Plot 9 footbridge is a connection for light traffic in ­connection with the current development of the master plan on the periphery with the new theatre in Taiyuan. The main idea of the project is to open up the residential, tourist and commercial development on the river front and to integrate the two banks. This proposal opens up the perspective of the directing plan and integrates the natural river-focused elements into the composition. The new footbridge allows visitors to walk or cycle along the banks and allows for new combinations of walking and cycling to the theatre under construction.

The proposal is part of a wider development of the city to reconcile the riverbanks with ongoing developments and allow for walks outside the city and the urban environment. A new vision for the outskirts of Taiyuan consists of new infrastructures to allow green tourism with eco-villages, activities in the heart of nature, shops related to local know-how. The construction of the new footbridge will open the entire parallel plane to the water in a central and transversal composition.
