Footbridge at Ullevaal stadium, Norway

EFLA, in collaboration with Brownlie Ernst and Marks Architects, has carried out the tender design of a new foot- and cycling bridge at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. The project also involves the design of a new layout of footways and roads, drainage and lighting systems, a landscaping scheme, new configuration of electrical and communications cabling in the area, geotechnical design, environmental studies and the auditing of existing nearby buildings. The main objective of the project is to improve traffic safety and capacity of the pedestrians and cycling network in this part of Oslo, i.e. at the intersection of the Ring 3 motorway and Sognsveien road. The new bridge that has been designed crosses both roads and replaces temporary bridges built in 1990. These bridges no longer meet the requirements of pedestrians and cyclists in the area. The construction work was set to commence in the fall of 2017. This is the largest of EFLA's projects for the Norwegian Road Authorities to date.
