Cyclist and pedestrian bridge Genk
The Flemish government started a campaign to improve dangerous spots in its infrastructure. One of the projects was creating an cycling and pedestrian bridge over the Westerring N76, a busy road at the city of Genk. This bridge allows cyclists and pedestrians to cross the road safely without having to deal with automobile trafic.
Arteum architects made a unique design for this bridge, a steel curved structure with a concrete deck. It is a real eye catcher, with beautiful curves, giving it a modern and dynamic look.
The total bridge has a length of 275 meters and its about 6 meters high.
