Nine Elms Bridge, London
A new pedestrian and cyclist link between Battersea & Pimlico
The vision for this bridge was to design an elegant, dynamic and spectacular link between Pimlico and the developping area of Battersea.
Challenge 1: Integrating cycle and pedestrian traffic.
The 4 meter wide cycle and foot paths are separated to provide a safe but integrated passage across the river using a consistent 1:21 and 1:15 slope respectively.
Challenge 2: Place making across the bridge and at its landing points.
The bridge’s distinctly sinuous geometry defined by the intertwining foot and cycle paths generates cross over communal zones that allow a multitude of entertainment and commercial opportunities on and above the Thames with spectacular unclaimed views of the city and its river.
