Dukes Meadow Footbridge

Award RIBA London Award 2024
The Dukes Meadow Footbridge regenerates a previously disconnected stretch of the Thames Path in Chiswick. The new 115-metre-long footbridge seamlessly links two existing sections of the path whilst respectfully sitting under the late Victorian, Grade II listed Barnes Railway Bridge.
The design not only navigated numerous constraints, including rowing traffic, but also carefully considered the feasibility of construction. As such, the structural members were meticulously sized to maximise off-site prefabrication and utilise the river itself for transportation and installation.
