Bridge with World Record Span and Symbolic Overtones

The following images, photographs, illustrations, videos and media or "Bridge with World Record Span and Symbolic Overtones" include visual details and information about this product or case study.

The main structural element of the pedestrian bridge is the arch with its span of 230 metres. In the central section of the bridge, it runs for a length of 200 m above the bridge deck, and in the two 15-metre end sections it runs below the deck. At its highest, the arch is about 14 metres above the deck and 20 metres above its ends.

Asymmetry as a consistent design characteristic: the main – north – beam of the pedestrian bridge has a hexagonal cross section, while the end section of the southern arch consists of a circular tube with a diameter of 250 mm. The design of the bridge deck is also asymmetrical

Technical challenge: With its low rise, the arch is extremely flat and gives the shape of the bridge its specific elegance

Vertical and tilted: The north arch is vertical, while the southern arch has a tilt of 18°. The railings of the stairs and the southern limit of the bridge deck take over the tilt
