Ribbons of mesh spiral around two conical bridges by French architectDominique Perrault that cross a river and park in Madrid. One part of the 278-metre-long footbridge crosses the Manzaranes River, whilst the second bridges the Arganzuela Park, beneath which the city ring road is buried. The two steel-framed cones meet at the peak of a hill inside the park but are separated by a snaking footpath. The footbridge connects two residential neighbourhoods and provides a route for both pedestrians and cyclists.Lights hanging from the branches of tree-like lamp posts illuminate the bridge after dark. The Pasarela del Arganzuela opened to the public in April, as did the park designed by landscape architects West 8 and other architects.
