Structure: Above ‒ Below ‒ In ‒ Between Though the central span of the bridge, which crosses the river, may seem at first glance the most important element, in the context of this sensitive landscape, the ramps that negotiate the level difference between the required ship clearance and the road levels, potentially have equal if not greater impact for the river valley than the central span.

Our proposal balances the two extremes of a structure above the deck and a structure below by locating the structure in‒between these two extremes, minimizing the ramp lengths whilst simultaneously minimizing the visual impact of the new crossing along the ‘Valley’ corridor.
