Long-Span Low-Carbon Footbridge over the Railway in Creil
<p>The urban footbridge project pays tribute to Creil’s industrial past while embracing a sustainable, post-carbon future. Designed for openness and material efficiency, its structure adapts to long spans.</p><p>At both ends, cantilevered expansions house ramps, stairs, and elevators, doubling as urban belvederes with panoramic views of the northern and southern slopes.</p><p>Spiral ramps extend from these belvederes, offering cyclists seamless access to the city’s new public spaces- leading north into a garden and south onto a landscaped plaza.</p>
