Design aims to demonstrate sustainable bridge-building methods using timber and concrete

Moxon Architects and engineering practice Ingenieurbüro Miebach have completed a new timber and concrete pedestrian bridge for the town of Baiersbronn in southern Germany. The project seeks to strengthen connections within the town centre and forms part of a garden show, a regional event that spans 8km between Baiersbronn and neighbouring Freudenstadt.

The Baiersbronn Bridge is designed to provide pedestrian and cycle access across the Murg River, as well as allowing occasional vehicular traffic. The structure reuses the abutments of a previous crossing, which had fallen into disrepair, helping to reduce costs and limit the overall carbon footprint.
