Mega city bridge concept. Mafikeng tagget 2020

after hours of exploring ideas concepts and structures I needed to make my bridge as different as possible, not from the context. but from a normal bridge and its characteristics  there for I ended up coming with the idea of making a bridge that gives one a feeling that view is more important than anything when your crossing over  I have achieved this by allowing a pedestrian to have a view of traffic, mmabana building megacity and Eskom building. The most appealing feeling it is when you see the far west new building next to police station. while the god part of the design is that you can also enjoy the flow of space of the bridge on its own. enjoy.

 the bridge is more modern and compliments the Architectural approach.
 height restriction was not a problem for cars and trucks but as soon as I realised that trucks usually use the road even buses as Mmabatho consist of taxi rank and bus rank there for in this design height was extremely and issue but based on trial and error without compromising the design. I managed.
 when one drives from west to east impressive view from the car makes the bridge to stand out with boldness and impressive character
Zoning was really considered as I didn't want to design something that doesn't have a function.
