Construction Period 2008 - 2011
Olten’s new Landmark, the Aarebridge, which is part of the project entitled
“Entlastung Region Olten (ERO)” was handed over to the public in
April 2013.
Thanks to the 3D model the designing/detailing-team was able to prove
visually that the main nodal points of the static system will fulfil all of the
requirements to place a rebar and post tensioning cables, despite its very
minimalistic dimensions.
The planning-team took a bold approach for the project contest to design
the new Aarebridge “maya”: with a span width of approximately 104 m, the
bridge connects a tunnel and a roundabout over the river Aare without any
columns.
The outstanding concept won the international contest of 69 participants
back in 2005 and was detailed and construction managed by the same
offices: Bänziger Partner AG (Baden), ACS-Partner AG (Zürich), Architect
Eduard Imhof (Luzern) and landscape architect David von Arx (Solothurn).
