Description:
The idea of a boat shape lead the design of this bridge referring to a site that is surrounded by water. The plan view as well as in the cross section of the bridge follow this design idea. The curvature of the bulg leads from the Larch cladding and continues with the high-quality stainles steel parapet up to the handrail with integrated LED lights. Additionally, the bridge follows a boat shape in plan view, too. At the abutments the width is 3,50 m and in the middle of the bridge it raises to 5,50 m. Precast concrete elements form a very durable decking and protect the timber construction from weathering.
