Recipient of The Bridges Design Award 2023
Described by the panel as “A unique and novel design capturing the spirit of engineering. A fun and playful mechanism. An innovative solution with the novelty factor! Very good value for money for fabrication and construction. Innovative derivation of the rolling path of the bridge using historical square wheel mathematics. Clearly a very collaborative team.”
