La Paloma Footbridge

The shape adopted for »La Paloma« footbridge was the result of the site constraints and the functional requirements defined in the specifications for the design contest organised by the municipal government. The 190 m long, continuous four-span deck is curved in the plan view and designed as a spatial steel truss girder with an open, C-shaped cross-section. The two upper arms in the Y-shaped piers, diagonals forming part of the truss, merge into a single, variable section shaft.
