OMA has won a competition to design a bridge in Lyon, connecting the Confluence district with La Balme. The bridge will combine tram, pedestrian, and cyclist pathways into one structure, addressing infrastructure needs and urban accessibility. OMA's design integrates smoothly with the landscape, providing an elegant connection between urban and natural spaces. The bridge features a light deck that floats above water gardens and will restore a historic path along the hillside, enhancing connectivity and civic space.
The proposal combines a tramway with a pedestrian and cyclist path in a single integrated structure, addressing practical infrastructure needs and urban accessibility.
The OMA design avoids grand gestures and blends into the natural environment, offering an elegant connection between the urban waterfront and the river's natural edge.
On the Confluence side, OMA designs the Lyon bridge to float above the water gardens, supported by a light and narrow deck that frames views of the river.
The project calls for the restoration of a forgotten path along the La Balme hillside, reintroducing it as part of the bridge's integration into the landscape.
