movement diagram

Pedestrian Bridge (con’t)designed to move laterally based on the current usage of the bridge and the location of the lateral load on the bridge

light sensors track movement throughout the evening and night hours

as the modules of the bridge move sunlight is let in, causing different light conditions depending upon the usage of the bridge
