In 2016, a new pedestrian bridge was built in Vierschach, Italy, in order to connect the local train station with the village and the adjacent ski resort. In order to integrate the bridge into the landscape, the design of the bridge contains some relations to the area`s old agricultural utility buildings, which are characterised by simple and clear constructive rules.
On top of the bridge`s steel columns, the main girder is attached carrying the pedestrian walkway. The walkway is comprised by wooden beams while the bridge superstructure is designed in an open-ended way.
The sides of the bridge are secured by alphamesh`s air-permeable 12.0 mm stainless steel ring mesh – extending over 875 m2. Like a filigree and translucent veil, it prevents objects from falling down.
