The Pedestrian Bridge over the Segre River is a bridge in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. In 2000, Lleida City Council organized an open competition for a new pedestrian bridge. It marks the entrance to the campus and functions as a communication and public space.
Description
The bridge consists of four longs spans embedded into three slender reinforced concrete piers. The abutments are integrated into both existing and new walls. In this way, an integral bridge (without joints at piers) is obtained.
Translucent composite materials (GFRP)-(Fiberglass) have been used in the form of structural floor panels and wall panels for both the railing and the flooring.
Construction
The structure is designed with a double composite action. The steel box girder was assembled using temporary support.
