Bridge architecture

The footbridge, which is situated in the city’s recreation area, connects the river’s left bank with the island of Bölesholmarna and links up to a small bridge bridging the arm of the river. The footbridge connects pedestrian and cyclist trails situated along both river's banks; it also carries electrical and communication cables. Larsson Fredrik Larsson Fredrik The footbridge consists of a prestressed concrete deck of one span of length of 179.00 m, which is suspended on two inclined suspension cables of three spans of lengths of 28.80+187.00+29.50 m. The bridge deck has a variable width - from 6.40 m in the middle of the bridge to 8.40 m at the abutments. The maximum sag of the cables is 20.90 m. The bridge dec... Mehr

Our primary goal in the NEW YORK BRIDGE project was to answer the need for more open and green spaces in the compact living and working areas in Manhattan’s financial district and the world-famous Wall Street. To achieve this, we at Kalbod Design Studio designed a suspended bridge that connects the financial district of Manhattan with the green areas of New Jersey above the Huston River while creating a magnificent view of the Statue of Liberty on the North Atlantic Ocean. Caption This bridge has two access levels; one is 35 meters above the water surface and provides an impressive panoramic view. The other level is 10 meters below the first, provides an amusing pedestrian path, and offers multiple gathering spaces for people to... Mehr

HAVER Architekturgewebe bietet Sicherheit und Schutz bei gleichzeitiger visueller Transparenz an der Fußgängerbrücke des Bahnhofs im französischen Agen. Im Rahmen der barrierefreien Umgestaltung des Bahnhofs entwarfen die Architekten von AREP eine neue Metallbrücke, die die Bahnsteige der Gleise 1 und 2 miteinander verbindet. Die 7 m hohe und 20 m lange Fußgängerbrücke verfügt über 2 Treppen und 2 Aufzüge, die jeden Reisenden eine sichere Überquerung der beiden Gleise ermöglicht. Absturzsicherung: HAVER Architekturgewebe erfüllt Anforderungen an Schutz und SicherheitDie Seiten der Brücke als auch die der Treppenaufgänge sind mit Drahtgeweberahmen von Haver &... Mehr

The ‘Greenest Road of Brabant’ makes geographical connections and embodies the connection between infrastructure, the valuable landscape of forests and stream valleys, and the people with their interests. The renewal of the 8,5 km provincial road has increased the liveability and accessibility of the N69 and its border with Belgium. By constructing a high-quality road that is placed naturally in the landscape, the user experience has been optimized. Maximizing spatial quality, integration, sustainability, and ecology was therefore one of the most important project objectives in the elaboration of the integral design. Paul Raats The new road winds through valuable and vulnerable agricultural land, forests, and nature reserv... Mehr

We illuminated a bridge with a unique charm that made it stand out. The colored line lights perfectly outline the structure of the whole bridge. This, in turn, causes the lights to be mapped on the water, resulting in a combination that doesn’t go unnoticed. The chasing lights give vitality to the bridge and enhance its prominence. Mehr

The new Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line has significantly reduced the commute time between Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. In the first phase of the project, a direct route runs from Washington, D.C. to Tysons Corner, but will be eventually expanded to run all the way to Dulles International Airport. In addition to the new line, pedestrian bridges featuring more than 60,000-square-feet of Banker Wire woven wire mesh were also created and interspersed throughout the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line. The pedestrian bridges, with Banker Wire woven wire mesh, connect metro stations to parking lots – helping commuters cross busy roads more safely. For this project, efficiency was of the utmost importance, as the bridges... Mehr
