Project description

Construction of a mobile footbridge dedicated to soft mobility. The 80-meter-long footbridge features a world-first two-phase kinematics.

Part of the decking can be lowered to allow the central section to roll in, opening up to a width of 25 meters.

This retractable system allows boats to pass through, particularly those taking part in the Transat Jacques Vabre.

Challenges to meet

The project's main challenges :

  • Combine the structure's capacity with a 25m overhang

  • Create a structure that can withstand heavy loads but is visually compact

  • Invisibly integrate the mechanics to maintain the architectural finesse of the structure

  • The precision demanded by the extremely low operating clearances of this mobile structure

ACML's main role
