This paper introduces two singular structures designed in the city of San Sebastian. The singularity of these bridges is based not on its dimensions or technical features, but in the way they adapt its design to local conditions. The 6th bridge over the Urumea River will be finished in 2010. This skewed urban bridge is 90 m long, with three spans of approx. 30 m, and 22 m wide. The bridge replaces an existing steel structure with historical values which is reused as a footbridge in a green area. It crosses the river parallel to the existing railway bridge, with associated visual and noise disturbances for the area. The new bridge in the area of Txomin-Enea over the Urumea River adapts to the different characteristics of the river banks. As the left bank will be a newly urbanized area with a green park following the river with walking and cycling paths. The structure uses two spans of 42 and 18 m, with the main span over the river and the side span over the new green area. |
