Dodder Bridge
Type
The pedestrian bridge was won through an international open design competition and is being commissioned by the Mountbrook Group as part of their major redevelopment of the site of the existing Jury's/Berkeley Court Hotels in Ballsbridge, Dublin. When in place it will complete the revitalisation of the pedestrian network areas between Shelbourne and Pembroke Roads.
The concept of the bridge is to create a hybrid of infrastructure and public amenity by providing generous seating and deck width across the span for pedestrians to pause and enjoy the views of the river. The structural design avoids aerial acrobatics in favour of a more subtle and unexpected solution which takes the constraints imposed by river channel clearance so that the main central spine passes above the deck on the lower south bank creating the extended seating area.
The structure is fabricated from rolled steel plate and painted a vibrant light blue. A central spine and two edge beams frame the open soffit of thin plate stiffeners which provide a visual richness that registers the changing profile of the deck across the span. The railings are fabricated from a stainless steel handrail and thin steel cables to maximise transparency through the structure.
