Increased comfort for crossing pedestrians
The bridge is a light-weight corten-steel footbridge with a total length of 200 meters and a main span of 40 meters across Jyllingevej in Rødovre, Denmark. Due to its low weight-to-span ratio, the structure is susceptible to human-induced vibrations. As such, the structure is designed with tuned mass dampers for increased pedestrian comfort.
KI was responsible for detail design of the steel construction.
Delay
The bridge was originally scheduled for opening in 2015, but the project was postponed due to undocumented pipes, where the foundation was supposed to be built. After several years, the bridge was finally produced and construction began in april 2021.

Vestvolden footbridge across Jyllingevej is a competition winner made by a consortium lead by Danpro/Persolit with Bystrup Architects and MOE and KI as engineering consultants.
