Future views from the Dawn Bridge
Bridge colors set a delicate and conceptual relationship with the environment: the asphalt will be gray like the roofs of the area, while the White walls will stand out in its prominent structure.
The reddish wood that is used in the houses inspires the pedestrian deck and the landings.
Green waters and nature appear in the form of trees on top of the bridge, similar to those seen in the neighboring construction of Fangsheng.
In the words of MVRDV partner Wenchian Shi, "Dawn Bridge's vertical alignment defines a feeling of lightness and elegance, and our goal was to provide a low bend over the river that also blends into the landscape."
"Beyond the mix, we wanted to create a bridge that invites public life above and around it, and that is accessible to all people, whether on foot or on wheels" , he adds.

The MVRDV design entails a solution to favor the views of the old town of Zhujiajiao and maximize the space available for pedestrians.
In addition, it has also been considered minimization of noise and air pollution when choosing the structure of the bridge.
Dawn Bridge takes into account the life of the river itself, leaving it completely free of permanent intermediate piers and other obstacles that impede its flow. This reduces the chances of flooding and provides smooth and direct navigation throughout your course.
