A design by Ian Ritchie Architects/Schlaich Bergerman und Partner has been chosen as the winning entry in a competition for a new bridge in Stratford upon Avon, England. Both the public and the competition judges chose it ahead of four other entries. One of the considerations that swung the judging panel was the prospect of the bridge being the "thinnest arch bridge in the world". The panel also liked the sensitivity of the design to the setting, describing it as "modest, simple and elegant". No decision has yet been taken on whether or not to go ahead with the project.
