市议会的要求是建造一座70米、英尺和自行车的桥梁，这座桥必须具有很高的建筑质量。大桥的建造也需要与新的防洪堰的建造紧密结合起来。

The City Council’s requirement was for a 70m, foot and cycle bridge that had to be of high architectural quality. Construction of the bridge would also need to be tightly integrated with the construction of a new flood control weir it stands upon.

这个项目是利兹两个主要项目之间的一个交叉点。资金来自创新的5000万英镑利兹洪水缓解计划的一部分，河流连接恢复了新升级的跨彭宁小径的一部分。因此，必须特别注意上述计划的景观评估和指导文件。

The project is a crossover point between two major projects in Leeds. Funding comes as part of the innovative £50M Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme with the river link reinstating part of the newly upgraded Trans Pennine Trail. As such, special attention had to be made to the landscape assessments and guidance documents of the aforementioned schemes.

这座桥梁的上部结构是用不锈钢护栏涂漆的耐候钢建造的，所有这些都是在交付并安装在堰上之前的20m段预制的。

The superstructure of the bridge is constructed using painted weathering steel with stainless steel parapets.  This was all pre-fabricated in 20m sections before being delivered and installed over the weir.

2016年1月批准了大纲规划许可。在修建堰后，在2017年5月至7月之间建造和架设了这座桥梁。

Approval for Outline Planning Permission was granted in January 2016. Following construction of the weir, fabrication and erection of the bridge took place between May and July 2017.

尽管桥梁形式的复杂性，广泛使用参数化软件和团队对制造技术的理解，使一个惊人的设计能够在有限的预算和方案。

Despite the complexity of the bridge form, extensive use of parametric software and the teams understanding of fabrication techniques enabled a striking design to be delivered within a limited budget and programme.

这座桥梁旨在让所有用户都能进入，它是利兹市中心与其南部地区之间新修路线的重要组成部分，鼓励人们采取可持续和健康的行为。桥面上弯弯曲曲的线条在下面的层流水面上涟漪；支撑在只有50毫米厚的突出桥墩上，有时几乎看不见。该结构的背景，但立即可识别的外观，使当地社区能够认同它，产生了一个强大的联系之间的桥梁和它的位置。甲板上的“观望”区域为人们提供了欣赏这条河的新机会，并能欣赏诺斯特罗普公园更广阔的自然景观。

Designed to be accessible for all users, the bridge is an important part of the newly upgraded route between Leeds City Centre and its Southside area encouraging sustainable and healthy behaviour. The sinuous lines of the bridge deck ripple above the cascading water beneath; supported on projecting piers that at only 50mm thick are at times nearly invisible. The contextual, yet immediately recognisable appearance of the structure has enabled the local community to identify with it, producing a strong association between the bridge and its place. Incorporation of ‘look-out’ areas along the deck creates new opportunities for people to enjoy the river and appreciate the wider natural setting of Knostrop Park.
