Circular tendering for bicycle bridge at Berchem

City of Antwerp investigates circular possibilities for bicycle bridges

The city of Antwerp is committed to the construction of safe cycling infrastructure. This includes the construction of a number of bicycle bridges. Besides criteria such as cost price, timing and user comfort, sustainability is also an important theme in the city's procurement policy. Therefore, circular bridge designs are considered, especially since some of the planned cycle bridges are temporary in nature.

In this context, we want to carry out an exploratory study on circular cycle bridges. By doing so, we hope to answer questions about the technical and procedural feasibility, as well as get an overview of the possibilities and the most appropriate materials and construction techniques for circular cycle bridges.
