The ‘Promenade Deck’ – The pedestrian and cycle bridge in the city centre of beautiful Erfurt replaces an existing concrete bridge built in GDR times. The new link, coined the “The Laundry Peg” by local press, is an important part of the planned expansion of Erfurt’s city center related to the district development of “ICE-City”. The fanning steel structure provides a short and a long side, offering pedestrians and cyclists barrier-free crossing of the so-called Gera-Flutgraben or the busy avenue Stauffenbergallee with a provision for a tramway. Wide steps and panoramic stairways provide views over the area’s greenery.
DKFS now have completed the execution planning and the project has been tendered successfully with SEH Engineering (Eiffage) as steelwork contractor. Project delivery included BIM services and full geometry control up to tender of the exciting and novel structure. Works now start on site in October 2020!
