The pedestrian and bicycle bridge is a forerunner of Dissing+Weitling's iconic bicycle bridges like the Bicycle Bridge in Copenhagen; adjusted to the landscape and in a minimalist and elegant design, the bridge is a clever local adaption. At the same time, steel construction represents a new way in which bridge builders can economize with the materials.
The bridge construction uses a new principle for folded steel sheets, which means a more economical and efficient material solution.
