Lávka přes řeku Berounku

Project idea

A pedestrian footbridge crossing the Berounka River, designed as an elegant arched structure connecting two riverbanks with a fluid, organic form.

Project description

The project proposes a pedestrian and cyclist footbridge over the Berounka River, located in the southwestern part of Prague near the confluence area. The bridge features a distinctive tied-arch structural system with sweeping curved arches that create an aesthetically refined crossing. The design integrates with the surrounding landscape and riverbank areas, connecting neighborhoods on both sides. The bridge deck provides a comfortable walking surface with wooden decking and incorporates viewing areas. The site plan shows the bridge connecting urban areas with natural riverside zones, enhancing pedestrian connectivity and public access to the waterfront.

Technical information

The structure employs a tied-arch bridge system with steel arches and a suspended deck. Detailed structural sections show the bridge cross-section, abutment details, railing connections, and deck-to-arch connections at various scales (1:10, 1:100, 1:500). The project includes structural analysis diagrams showing stress distribution and deformation patterns computed using FEM software (SCIA Engineer). Construction details illustrate the anchoring system at the riverbanks, the deck support structure, and the railing design. The bridge span and longitudinal profile are documented at 1:500 scale, with site plans at 1:1000 and 1:500 scales.
