TWO PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES

The Royal Commission, Yanbu assigned FAEC to design and engineer two pedestrian bridges to extend the Prince Saud Bin Thunayan athletic park with pedestrian walkway and cycle tracks crossing over the King Khaled and King Faisal Roadways.   The consultancy services included the design and preparation of an EPC design and build bidding package to allow RC Yanbu to bid, award and construct the bridges.

Curve bridge:

Based on the natural free flow of a wave, a curved pedestrian bridge is proposed to connect the linear parks.  The smooth curve of the pedestrian overhead bridge contrasts with the linearity of the park on either side.

Straight Bridge:

Adopting and extending the continuity of the linear park alongside King Abdul-Aziz Road one crossing is achieved by means of a straight linear pedestrian bridge. 

Oasis:

An open space is provided on both ends of the bridge to create a small oasis of calm in order that walkers and cyclists may stop and enjoy the park environment.
