...or better "Peace Bridge," as it is officially called. It is located in Northern Ireland, Derry/Londonderry, over the River Foyle. From a distance, you can already see the extraordinary structure. The two bridge piers stand, or rather lie half-reclined, in the middle of the river, initially giving the impression and raising the question: is this intentional, or is there something wrong with the stability?
But as you get closer, you immediately realize that this is a modern and expressive bridge, which is also curved in an S-shape along the walkway. Essentially, a work of art in bridge engineering.

Sie befindet sich in Nordirland, Derry/Londonderry über dem Fluss Foyle. Von weiter Entfernung sieht man schon die außergewöhnliche Konstruktion. Die beiden Brückenpfeiler stehen, bzw. halb liegend, in der Flussmitte und vermitteln zuerst den Eindruck mit der Frage: ist das gewollt oder stimmt da was mit der Statik nicht ?
Aber kommt man näher, erkennt man sofort, dass es sich hier um eine moderne und ausdrucksstarke Brücke handelt, die zudem noch S-förmig in der Lauffläche gebogen ist. Im Grunde genommen ein Kunstwerk der Brückentechnik.
Wer Geschichte mag, kann unten mehr darüber erfahren....
