Bridge Structures

The existing Freischütz pedestrian and cyclist bridge was renewed as part of the 4-lane widening of federal highway 236 between Dortmund/Schwerte and the Schwerte motorway junction of the Autobahn 1 highway.

In May 2022, the new Sky Bridge footbridge opened in the Dolní Morava area (Czech Republic); it is the longest footbridge in the world, with a length of 721 m (2,365.5 ft). The design and construction of the footbridge were carried out by TAROS NOVA a.s., and the calculation was performed in RFEM 5.

This slender timber pedestrian bridge was constructed over the Bow River in Banff, Canada. The town of Banff, located in the beautiful Canadian Rockies, is Canada’s first national park. At 13 ft (4 m) wide and 38 ft (113 m) long, the bridge is complete with a 263-foot clear span, which is perhaps the longest of its kind for a timber bridge.
