Kingsgate bridge
Ove Arup | Durham | 1963
The last structure that Ove Arup designed himself was the award-winning reinforced concrete Kingsgate footbridge in Durham, England.
Completed in 1963, Arup considered this bridge his finest work. He planned every detail, including the unusual way it was constructed. The need for scaffolding on the river was eliminated by casting the bridge in two halves, one for each bank. The halves were then swivelled out from the banks to meet. more
