133 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 2: Civil Structures Category 2: Civil Structures 2 Short description │Cyclist- and Pedestrian Bridge The cyclist- and pedestrian bridge in the centre of Metz crosses the river Seille in the contemporary Parc de la Seille. The bridge is officially known as the passerelle de Graoully. The name refers to the mythical animal that is the symbol of Metz: the dragon. The 64-metre-long bridge has a changing width from 8.7 m to 8.4 m and a changing height from 7.5 m to 6.8 m.The total weight of the bridge is 100 tonnes. The bridge has several cross girders in the form of a “U”. These cross girders are connected by crossing rectangular diagonals. The net of diagonals is in equilibrium with a box-formed top girder that is anchored on 1 side of the bridge to limit the deformation of the bridge. The bridge is placed in one piece in its final place. Project information Owner Ville de Metz Architect Brigit de Kosmi General Contractor Anmeco N.V.
