Bridge across River Drau in Villach
Austria
A special feature of the constructional design of this bridge is its unusual cross-section, with slender longitudinal girders and massive cross-girders suspended from the bridge arch. Directly beneath this steel arch there is a pedestrian walkway and cycle path, running between the two separate carriageways.
