Grimshaw Footbridge opens in Newport

Grimshaw Architects has sent us images of the Newport City Walkway, which opened in the Welsh city just before Christmas.

The bridge is supported by a crane structure installed on the west bank of the river, a reference to the quay cranes that once lined the riverbank.

Two pairs of masts, one 70 m high and the other 80 m high, support the 145 m deck.
