Bridges at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Built

The pedestrian bridge and road bridge link the west side of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) with Hackney Wick, spanning the Lea Navigation Canal.

The pedestrian and road bridges link the west side of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) with Hackney Wick. The footbridge is formed of weathered steel, with the low-maintenance material a nod to nearby industrial buildings and key pieces of infrastructure in the QEOP. The footbridge is formed of two plate girders, with each of the beams’ vertical webs featuring 2,500 perforations, derived from structure’s stress distribution diagram. Our nearby road bridge clearly relates to the pedestrian crossing.
