The Triangle Bridge

The Triangle Bridge is a new 44m single-span steel bridge over the Waterworks River in east London.

London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) commissioned the new bridge as the latest in a series of projects to improve access and connections for local communities to the new facilities created on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The new bridge will act as a gateway to the Bridgewater Triangle development site, masterplanned by Mikhail Riches.

The bridge comprises two triangular steel trusses with a steel / concrete composite deck suspended by four high-strength steel hangers. The triangular trusses are positioned between the carriageway and pedestrian side decks. This reduces the span / structure between the trusses, thus reducing embodied carbon. District heating pipes and other services run beneath the pedestrian side decks.
