Pedestrian Bridge in Weiden
Designed to provide children with a safe route to school across a busy road, the bridge, roughly 83 meters long, swings up from a solid abutment on one side and descends in a spiral form on the other, where it is suspended from a single pylon. It was not possible to construct ramps at this point, since it was necessary to preserve an existing biotope. The curved, framed lattice girder supporting the bridge is constructed with tubular members in a torsionally rigid form.
