Nanjing TIANLONG Bridge

南京天龙桥

LOCATION: NANJING

project year: 2019

STATUS: BUILT

The design of this vehicular bridge echoes the mountain-shaped triangular arches of the Qinhuai Bay Bridge along the route, simplified here into a truss structure cleverly positioned within the divider between motorized and non-motorized lanes. The incorporation of the truss structure effectively improves load distribution along the sides of the bridge, reducing the visible structural height on the outer edges and creating a sleek, lightweight deck. In harmony with the Chengtian Avenue Bridge crossing the Qinhuai River, this bridge contributes to a dynamic cityscape along the main thoroughfare, enriching the overall spatial experience with a sense of layered depth.

这座车行桥的设计呼应了沿路秦淮湾大桥的山形三角拱,并简化为桁架结构,巧妙布置在机动车与非机动车分隔带处。桁架结构的引入有效改善了桥体两侧的受力分布,降低了外侧可见部分的结构高度,从而营造出轻薄的桥面效果。桥梁设计与承天大道跨秦淮河大桥相互呼应,形成错落有致的主干道城市景观,赋予整体空间更加丰富的层次感。
