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.
A scheme to replace the 122-year-old bridge in lieu of restoring and adapting it to meet modern rail traffic demands would only maintain the structure's original stone piers.
