    Småpudden pedestrian and cycle bridge in Bergen

Overview

Småpudden is a pedestrian and cycle bridge in Bergen that connects Marineholmen and Møhlenpris on one side of Puddefjorden with Gyldenpris and Solheimsviken on the other. The bridge, which is a double-hinged steel bridge with U-shaped cross-sections, can be opened to allow ships to pass, creating a flexible and dynamic connection across the fjord.

A bridge shaped like a z

Småpudden is designed as a Z, giving the bridge a natural slope and making it a very special experience to cross the Puddefjord. The length of the bridge in the central axis is 233 metres.

The synthetic surfacing in the pedestrian zone is uneven, while that in the cycle lane is smooth to enhance comfort. The bars of the railing are constructed of painted steel, while transverse cables form the upper part of the railing.

The transverse profile is equipped with LED lighting that illuminates the bridge with a soft indirect light that does not steal the view from pedestrians and cyclists. The built-in LED lighting is also used to separate pedestrians and cyclists.

'The Children’s Hospital' is back

The Norwegian documentary series *Barnesykehuset* returns with a new series from Glasblokkene in Bergen. The first series was a huge hit with viewers, and now the series continues with new stories from life at the children’s and young people’s hospital. For KHR, the series also offers a unique insight into our architecture in use. The camera follows children, families and staff through the hospital’s spaces and shows how daylight, views, nature and space for everyday life form part of daily life at Glasblokkene.
