Peace Bridge, Calgary
Steel-Glass Bridge for Pedestrians and Cyclists.
The pedestrian and cyclist bridge connects the modern business district Downtown with the City and crosses the Bow River at the Westend of Prince’s Island Park.
The bridge catches the eye with the massive steel framework. In addition to the roof glazing, GIG was responsible for the production of the balustrade and the handrail.
Besides meeting the high architectural demands with oversized components, it was imperative to combine the steel construction tolerances with the extreme local temperature fluctuations and movements of the bridge, in which we succeeded in doing, to the complete satisfaction of the architect and the client.
