Another bridge design contest, another winner, and this time it's the turn of Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, and Hatch Mott MacDonald.
The contest was to design a pedestrian bridge at the Bechtel Family National Scouting Reserve in West Virginia. The two firms' winning design is a 250m suspension bridge, with "walkable" cables running over fanned-out columns, some 60m above the ground.
The bridge is to be built in time for the National Scout Jamboree Event in 2014. Consol Energy are donating US$15m towards its construction.
