Katehaki Pedestrian Bridge

Athens

IN SHORT

At the request of Athen's Attiko Metro, Calatrava designed a new single-span stayed pedestrian bridge with inclined pylon and exterior counterstays crossing the Mesogion Avenue to connect with the Katehaki subway station in the city of Athens. The general typology is brought to its extreme with the Katehaki Pedestrian Bridge by locating the deck's stays in a single lateral plane and by endowing the pylon with a variably curved shape with its tieback situated in a vertical plane. The footbridge is accessible via two stairways complemented by two escalators and two elevators, while the southeast elevator provides direct access to the subway station.
