Neby bru: one footway, three ways of sustainability

Degree of Freedom, in collaboration with the municipality of Tynset, has developed the detail design of a pedestrian bridge that will join the neighbourhood of Neby with the rest of the city, crossing the river Glåma. This project had a limited budged, so the design stage has been influenced by the materials optimization, the use of local resources and suppliers and the consideration of conventional constructive methodologies. The footbridge was built during 2019 and opened to traffic in May 2020. This text describes the main characteristics of the structure and the methodology considered in the design.
