Truss Bridge in Emmendingen

The truss bridge functions as crossing over the busy state road 3 for the special school nearby. At the bridgehead a covered pavilion is additionaly connected to the bridge offering a place to pause. The structure is designed as a symmetrical frame with cantilever arms, the supports are steel structures cladded with domestic Douglas fir. The cladding of the bridge in the form of a slat railing is designed close deliberately. By these horizontal lines and the shadows cast by the slats, the bridge still looks slender. Thanks to an excellent constructional wood protection the building requires very low maintenance and is in superb condition.
