The 600-foot-long lightweight steel structure, open to pedestrians and cyclists, links the city of Albi’s historic center with new development across the River Tarn.
Through a combination of prefabricated components and strategic construction methods, the new bridge demonstrates how complex infrastructure can be built with minimal disruption.
The Spanish architect and engineer is not involved with the accessibility-improving project, which the city estimates will cost as much as 2 million euros.
The footbridge connects Tulsa’s Gathering Place park to riverside trails in the latest collaboration between Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates and Schlaich Bergermann Partner.
Set to be installed this fall, the 266-foot-long bridge was fabricated in Italy as part of the larger rejuvenation of downtown Buffalo’s Lake Erie waterfront.
Spanning 1,800 feet across the Garonne River, the ‘anti-iconic’ bridge offers little in terms of structural razzle-dazzle—and that’s entirely the point.
This vehicular bridge, located in a mountainous area of a small European country, illustrated both the rational and expressive potential of reinforced concrete.
No stranger to pedestrian bridge design, the London practice teams with a German timber engineering firm for a sustainable span in the town of Balingen.
