| Abstract: |
Having to save an urban fracture in the city of Oviedo, Asturias (Spain), consisting in a vertical slope seven meters height sustained by a rock wall and the railway tracks and the road traffic, laying parallels to the base of the wall. In the upper side of the wall, a new neighbourhood of the city, “La Florida”, can’t connect with the lower neighbourhood, “Parque del Oeste”, that provides a big park and municipal swimming pools. Having waited Oviedo for a solution to this problem, “Arenas&Asociados, Bridge Designers” was committed by City Council to find that solution. A new-fangled structure was conceived; consisting on a suspended composite deck roundabout hanged from the inner edge by a system of hangers clamped to a pair of loop suspension cables. The structure is completed with a post-tensioned concrete approach viaduct and two waving footbridges connected by ribs to the suspended deck. |
