Project information
THE SUSPENSION footbridge (210 m span) overbridges the Drava and
connects the city centre with the recreational zone. The single
span bride, without intercolumns, enables free navigation. The
bridge tread, reinforced concrete plate 6 m wide is suspended on
the parabolic carrying steel-rope. From the static point of view,
the supporting system for the bridge is a catenary, stiffened by
prestressed tightening ropes blaced on the bottom side of the plate
bridge tread. This system resulted in an exceptionally rational and
attractive footbridge-which meets its purpose completely as well as
high aesthetic criteria. Characteristics:
- total built surface 1,440 m2,
- maximum span 210 m
- road width 5 m,
- height of steel towers 30 m,
- high aerodynamic stability.
