In October 2013, the "Walsersteg", a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists built across the Loisach River, opened in the south of the old town of Wolfratshausen in Germany. The bridge connects the existing traffic routes on both sides of the river. The uncovered bridge spans the Loisach without columns and has a pylon guyed on one side. The structure has a width of 9.8 ft and a span width of 150.9 ft.
The bridge structure of Isarsteg as integrating artwork fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Taking nature as an example, the bridge spans the Isar river like a branched limb. Together, the ramps, stairs, columns, and horizontal beams represent the spatial framework. The pedestrian and cycle bridge, 525 ft long in total, was made of weather-resistant structural steel, S355 J2G2W (corten steel).
A slender, elegant bridge for pedestrians and cyclists connects the old town and the hospital town of the large district town of Eichstätt, Germany. This customer project was awarded with the "Bavarian Engineering Award 2023" and the "Ernst & Sohn Engineering Construction Award 2024" – and rightly so, because it really is something special.
