The bridge, at 32m in span, has twin steel arches which are inclined like butterfly wings to produce a feeling of containment on the deck and, simultaneously, an openness to the sky. The deck extends onto the landscaped banks at each end to engage with the open space around the bridge and enable step-free access, with longitudinal deck lighting concealed at kicker level within the parapets. The bridge is designed to create an inviting spectator platform and informal ‘grandstand’ during Bedford’s annual regatta. -- architect's web site

The competition brief for this 180m long bridge, one of a series of new pedestrian crossings commissioned for London’s Docklands, was unusual. It called for a bridge with temporary and permanent elements - and the ability to open for shipping. The simple elements of the bridge – the curved lines of the oak-clad deck, two raking masts and the shifting arrays of cable stays – create a visual dynamic, accentuating the kinetics of the design and contrasting sharply with the uniform urban grid beyond. -- architect's web site

Just 5.85 meters high and 8 meters wide, the compact, ruby-red helical bridge stretching across the Bow River stands out from the landscape as well as from Calatrava’s portfolio of soaring, white-concrete, cable-stayed bridges. Site constraints limited the design team to a 7-meter-tall envelope bounded by the river’s flood level below and the flight path for a nearby heliport above. Ecological concerns barred intermediate supports in the water, requiring a bridge type able to span the full 126 meters (413 feet). “A tube was a clear contender,” says Calatrava, the Switzerland-based founder of his eponymous firm, “but there was a danger of creating a tunnel-like bridge.” -- ARCHITECT
