Lille Langebro — Attraction in undefined

Lille Langebro (English: Little long bridge),located close to and named after the Langebro bridge, is a walking and cycling bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was designed by WilkinsonEyre and it is classified as a double-swing bridge. The unique visual elements include the twisted and curved design. There was a competition for the commission to build the Lille Langebro bridge and it was awarded to WilkinsonEyre in 2015.WilkinsonEyre's design includes lighting which is hidden in the handrail: the effect is to make the bridge look like a twisted ribbon when it is lit up after dark. The bridge was designed for bicycles and pedestrians. It is 160 m (520 ft) long and 7 m (23 ft) wide. The bridge is classified as a double-swing bridge based on its sectional design and ability to swing open. It crosses the inner harbour north of Langebro and features an elegant curvature. The bridge is constructed with steel. The bridge has the ability to swing open so that boats may pass.There are two rotating sections which open together. The sections swing open using gravity to move the bridge sections. According to the engineers at Buro Happold one of the challenges was to get the two horizontally rotating bridge components to come together and lock. Most bridges lock together with pins; but for this bridge the engineers utilized mechanical and hydraulic components that lock the bridge together when closed. The handrail is made of brushed stainless steel and there is a see-through mesh covering the supports. The bridge is divided into a 3 m (9.8 ft) lane for pedestrians and a 4 m (13 ft)...

This is a great bridge. A good curve, nothing fancy, and it gets you from point A to point B without having to deal with the cars of the big Langebro, which was the previous route cyclists and pedestrians had to take to cross the canal at this location. From a cyclists perspective it feels safe. No obstructed views or strange turns, just a slight leaning up, and a slight leaning down. It is a bit unclear how to transfer from the bridge onto Langebrogade on the Christianshavn side, but it's not a big deal. From a pedestrians point of view, the bridge is also good, since you don't have to deal with the cars and all the noise, but it is nothing special. The view is alright, but don't go there expecting a traditionally romantic bridge where you and your loved one place your padlock: no, this is more of a bridge for passing cyclists than for...
