Construction of Namawukulu Footbridge in Uganda
For many years, Bridges to Prosperity has been trying to improve people’s lives in the isolated communities throughout the world by building footbridges. In this concept, recently Ramboll UK and IABSE Foundation has teamed up to realize a suspended footbridge project located in the eastern Uganda. A multi-national team of structural engineers travelled to site to construct the bridge together with the local community. In this paper, the suspended bridge design that enables the use of basic materials and the construction methods developed considering the available limited resources is presented.
