THE NEW PEDESTRIAN FOOTBRIDGE AT LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY STATION
AbstractThe new pedestrian footbridge at Luxembourg Train Station is an integral component of the revamped platform canopies. Its unique undulating wave design, symbolic of motion, is mirrored in the canopies' roofs, creating asynchronous waves between platforms. As the footbridge aligns with the wave, it gracefully encompasses the translucent tube of the new structure.An integrated staircase fits beneath this architectural wave, with an elevator opposite for easy platform access. This translucent prism stands in stark contrast to the sweeping curves of the roofs and the footbridge itself.Prioritizing user comfort and safety, a translucent design was chosen, eliminating blind spots. The 100‐meter footbridge is constructed with an orthotropic steel deck, offering substantial spans with minimal height. The roof's central section serves to reduce sun exposure and conceal electrical wiring.The assembly process involved crane work during railway track closures over consecutive weekends, using a CC3800 crane with a maximum capacity of 650 tons
