The pedestrian bridge is situated in the natural landscape of the
popular Rembrandtpark, close to the city centre of Amsterdam. It will
re-establish the pedestrian network of the park, which has been interrupted
by the introduction of the ‘Schipluidensingel’, a small
waterway connecting the park with the environment on the opposite
side of the ‘Lelylaan’. (See also Viaduct Lelylaan / Westlandgracht)
The bridge comprises two adjacent steel bands, laid out at the edges
of the deck. They are fixed to concrete abutments, which are blended
into the slopes of the embankments. The walkway is provided by individual,
concrete planks, fixed atop the steel bands. The span of the bridge
is 20 m and the width of the walkway is 2.5 m. |
