A calm intervention in the urban fabric of the old city centre. The accessibility is guaranteed from all sides by the sine-like shape of the abutments and the bridge deck. On the south side of the bridge a larger pavement is created to accommodate the large amount of pedestrians going to and from the station. On the north side of the bridge the balustrade develops gradually into a bench, revealing a space for those who are not just passing through.
