Promenadebrug, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

 

Two brand new bridges, which are part of the project ‘Ruimte voor de Waal’, were intended to be built in Nijmegen. The bridges will connect the new island and the north bank of the city of Nijmegen.  The architect and designer of the bridge is NEY+Partners from Brussels.

 

The Promenadebrug is a 240m long bridge, which is supposed to be primarily used by pedestrians and cyclists. FDN was asked for review of initial architectural design with the main focus on structural feasibility. The research of FDN comprised of 3D computer modeling with related research and proposals for the convenient prestressing systems.
