Notes
It is a free standing structure of curved steel tubes of 139.7 x 10 Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) spiraling around six longitudinal 193.7 x 16 CHS located in the top and bottom of the bridge cross-section. The 5m wide x 4m high helix is supported by splayed legs of 457 x 25 CHS springing from concrete plinths. Aluminium planking is used for the decking. Glass panels frame the sides of the walkway and also provide a roof to the structure for pedestrian protection.
