Bridge over the IJssel

2006

The design for the Ijssel Bridge in Zwolle combines a truss bridge typology with a cable construction, creating transparency and minimising the deck’s width. Railings, sound barriers, and overhead wiring are integrated into the design, with the pole layout following the rhythm of the bridge cables.
