Knight Architects’ design for innovative Network Rail project revealed

UK-based bridge design experts, Knight Architects, alongside a world-leading team of experts, reveal their design for Network Rail’s ‘Flow’ Bridge; an innovative modular bridge which will have a wide range of applications across the network, including as a replacement to level-crossings.

The new design builds upon Network Rail’s expanding catalogue of signature footbridges and follows their ‘Principles of Good Design’. The ‘Flow’ Bridge is designed in high-strength composite materials, providing freedom in design and cost effectiveness, amongst numerous other benefits.

Now complete across test tracks in Long Marston, Warwickshire, UK, the new design will be displayed on location to audiences at Rail Live 2021 (16th – 17th June 2021).

Knight Architects were appointed to develop a concept design in Spring 2020, and have developed the design almost entirely remotely with Network Rail, Jacobs, Fo Flo, KS Composites, Sui Generis, Q-Railing, Rapid Root, Epsilon Optics, Sentry Systems and Mabey Bridge.
