| Abstract: |
The new stainless steel arch bridge for Pooley Bridge replaces a 250-year-old historic structure in a UNESCO World Heritage Site lost to flooding in 2015. The designers balanced key project constraints and community desires through the design process including an extensive public stakeholder engagement process. Resilience, durability, transparency in the landscape and speed of construction were all raised as critical, and the resulting design balances these aspects with an efficient and novel design that achieves a good balance of carbon cost to value. |
