Crossing a bridge is always an experience, but even more in Switzerland. From the Kappelbrücke in Lucerne with its paintings depicting events of the city’s history to the acrobatic Salginatobel built by Robert Maillart, the country is a fertile field of overpass schemes. The Alpine orography requires maximum technical skill and offers beautiful views, and the result is a degree of structural refinement at a par with the peaks of the landscape. Indebted to this long engineering tradition is a new passageway over the Aare. It replaces a viaduct raised in 1949, but the presence of a bridge in the vicinity dates back to Roman times. Aiming for the solidity of medieval stoneworks, the construction of reinforced concrete reuses preexisting supports in its central spans, and forms a monolithic element that integrates foundations, arches, the deck, and parapets, not to mention transversal hollows that make gazing at the bridge from the riverbanks as lovely an experience as crossing it.
