Here’s bridge by Paris practice Explorations Architecture with UK engineers Buro Happold, who collaborated to design the Metro West bridge.

This design was the winning project in a competition, organised by the RIBA, to design a foot and cycle bridge over the river Soar at Abbey Meadows in Leicester, UK.

As with the Metro West design, the supports of the suspension bridge sink beneath the deck towards its centre, affording clear lines of sight up and down the river.

Laminated glass parapets interrupt these views as little as possible.

The bridge is due for construction in 2010.
