Tripod Footbridge, Terni (Italy)

Landmark 180m bridge facilitating Terni's urban regeneration, linking station improvements for fast trains to Rome. A 60m inverted ‘tripod' tower and pair of rings support an asymmetric array of cable-stay spans. A further truss span is re-positionable in future to release and connect more land. 2 bridges for the price of 1.

International competition winner marking Terni's expansion as a commuter hub 100km from Rome. The tower and its structural halos are visible from the historic town centre, ring road and surrounding Umbrian mountains, aiding orientation and enhancing the station's identity.
