109 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 2: Civil Structures Category 2: Civil Structures 2 This project is about the Gaardeniersbrug in Ghent. It is a combination of both a concrete bridge for trams (post-tensioned on site) and a steel ‘bicycle and pedestrian’ bridge. The pillars of the bike bridge are all shaped as identical cones; they differ regarding the inclination and height above ground level. The overhead lines for the trams are suspended on the pillars of the cyclist’s bridge, which link both bridges visually and functionally. The supporting beam is a steel pipe; it has steel fins, which are forming an angle of 45° with the axis of the tube, and which are supporting the road. Owner Stad Gent Architect Ing. bureau G.
