The Van Dun Bridge

The Van Dun Bridge

The new pedestrian bridge in the town of L’Assomption stands out as a landmark, recognizable for its bold orange-red color, contrasting with the surrounding landscapes. The bridge’s masts play both a structural and symbolic role: with their geometry, they form an “A” for Assomption, becoming a visual signature of the town. With this the structure, it is highlighted the role of the cables as both functional and aesthetic elements.
