Pedestrian Bridge, Gore Glen, Midlothian 2009
structural engineer Stephen Ferrar
contract value £500k
There is however one short stretch that runs along the busy A7 trunk road in order to cross Gore Weter, a small but fast flowing river. As a director of the Trust, Gail Halvorsen has been trying to raise funds to build a sustainable footbridge across the Water. Halvorsen Architects has diesigned an all timber structure with local engineer, Stephen Ferrrar, who specialises in bridges. We have designed a structure that is made from wood that can be sourced in the surrounding wood and manhandled to site and assembled without the need for any heavy machinery.
