Project description

The subject of the competition was to develop a design for a pedestrian and bicycle footbridge located in the place where Netta flows out of Lake Necko, new communication routes connecting it with the nearby beach, and pedestrian and bicycle footbridges over the entrances to the three existing marinas on the north-eastern bank of the river.

The footbridge over the mouth of the Netta was designed as a continuous multi-span structure with steel box girders and a deck in the form of a steel orthotropic plate. The main girders of the spans located above the entrance of the river to Lake Niecko have been designed in an arched form, with the arches in some of the spans located above and in the others below the level of the footbridge deck.

The footbridges over the entrances to the marinas were designed as steel structures with a cross-section formed by box girder with cantilevers and an orthotropic plate.
