Bike your way into the city centre

OYO contributes to the bicycle urbanism strategy of Ghent by designing this safe connection between two important districts in our home city. The bridge connects the Zuiderpoort to the Stropkaai, providing a more pleasant and safe route for hundreds of cyclists who want to enter the city centre.

Client: City of Ghent
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Category: Public
Program: Bike bridge
Status: Completed
Collaborators: Arch&Teco

The construction of the Louisa d'Havé bridge is in line with the city's objective to increase overall bicycle use. Sustainable urban mobility contributes significantly to achieving the proposed goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
