The new footbridge spans the Bow River in Banff, built with sustainable timber, indicating a blend of design and nature.
The glacial Bow River traces its way through the Rocky Mountains and the Town of Banff, in Canada’s first national park. Spanning the Bow, in the heart of the community, is the new Nancy Pauw footbridge, fulfilling a 108-year dream for the town. Responding to the wish for natural materials and minimal intrusion, StructureCraft designed and built an unusually slender 80m clear span out of sustainable timber, a shallow high-thrust arch which appears effortless in this beautiful and pristine natural setting.
