A striking curved steel arch has been chosen for a new crossing of the River Cam in Cambridge, England. Judges this week selected the entry by WhitbyBird and sculptor Gerry Judah from a field of six international submissions. A public poll had also favoured the winning design, which includes a low level walkway, a separate and slightly elevated cycleway and a number of sculpted seats. “I am confident it will become a much-loved landmark in the city in years to come,” said Cambridgeshire County Council cabinet member Shona Johnstone. Work is set to start on the bridge early next year and it could be open by early 2006.
