By
Amy Peacock
A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
Belgian engineering studio Ney and Partners has designed and constructed a unique pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Albi, France. The sinuous footbridge cantilevers from a 19th-century brick railway viaduct over the River Tarn. The steel structure features a straight side and a waving, meandering pattern on the other side that navigates between the viaduct's 4.7-meter-wide arches, creating an innovative architectural solution that blends modern engineering with historic infrastructure.
