| Abstrakt: |
The municipality of Padua has recently achieved an important goal, namely the project for the new Fair Bridge. Located in the North side of the city, the bridge wants to be also a comfortable and pleasant gate for pedestrians and bicycles. The main crossing is a steel double arch bridge; the steel- concrete composite deck accommodates the road lanes on transversal cantilevers hanging from the stays, whereas the wide pedestrian boulevard is placed between the skew planes of the arches. Furthermore, the separation between the different areas is filled with continuous flowerbeds, an ideal extension of the park to the city. After the main span over the railway area, the road lanes split on two different slender box girder steel bridges. The whole process of design was carried out in a very short time, and was constantly kept in touch with the national railway company RFI in order to take into account the many requirements coming from the criticality and importance of the position. |
