Tamina Canyon Bridge, Bad Ragaz, Switzerland

Müller, Michael / Haug, Holger / Eilzer, Wolfgang

Abstract In 2007 the City of St. Gallen, Switzerland, has announced a public competition for a new bridge across the Tamina Canyon. The new road bypasses the village of Pfäfers in the northwest and leads into the district of Bofel. From Bofel to the district of Berg on the other side of the Tamina valley (Fig. 1) a 400 m long bridge was built, crossing at the gorge at about 200 m height, becoming the most important and outstanding bridge construction in Switzerland of the last years. This paper presents the winning design, and gives an overview of the most important design and construction aspects. The Tamina Canyon Crossing has already received the Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence 2018 by the Institution of Structural Engineers.
