The project can be seen as a sculpture, as well as an engineering achievement. It is architecture with a sensible relation to the landscape. It relates to the historical railway bridges, but it is transformed with another material and contemporary expression. The smoothness of the concrete relates to the landscape elements in the surrounding. The bridge takes in account the safety and enjoyment of the user.
