This project features a suspended footbridge connecting urban areas divided by the R1 expressway, suggesting innovative architecture in challenging locations.
The footbridge is located at the entrance to the city of Banska Bystrica in the central part of Slovakia. It connects urban areas divided by R1 expressway and the local road junction. The complicated location with many constraints led to the design of a suspended steel structure with a pylon and one-sided suspension. Cyclists and pedestrians use shaped ramps to overcome obstacles and reach the Hron River on the eastern side. The footbridge with main span 76.30 m is fixed in concrete abutments at both ends.
