Block girder bridge over the A1 in Paris, France
Description
The successful competition entry, submitted together with our French partners Exploration Architecture and AIA Lifedesigners, for a ‘design and build’ project for a bicycle and pedestrian bridge for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will continue to be used after the Olympic Games: The bridge, which connects the media village and the sports complex in Le Bourget over the French A1 motorway, is based on a simple and economical design that is durable and, thanks to its sophisticated structural wood protection, requires little maintenance. There were special requirements with regard to fire protection: the bridge structure must be able to withstand fire for two hours.
