该项目是对Limerick大学内的一座高架桥进行设计与改造。日前，该项目已经进入了最后的建设阶段，这是由来自伦敦的设计团队Wilkinson Eyre Architects完成的第三个人行大桥。它位于爱尔兰著名的Limerick大学。该大桥最初建于2007年，350米长的桥梁横跨Shannon河流，将该大学的County Limerick校区和南部地区连接起来，同时将Clare地区与北边的区域连接在一起。

Shannon河流被国家明确指定的保护河流，因此该团队在大桥的设计阶段和施工阶段都异常小心，保证不会对其周边的自然环境造成破坏。与以往笔直的桥梁不同，该大桥有一个曲线状的大道，路面有时宽阔有时又很窄，非常有趣。该大桥的完成也离不开Arup工程公司的帮助，他们用六条钢丝绳将各部分结构固定在一起。大桥下面的悬链线拉锁让整个大桥的曲线型式显得更加与众不同。

As we enter the final week of our festive bridge countdown, we're spotlighting a third bridge by London firm Wilkinson Eyre Architects – the University of Limerick Living Bridge in Ireland.Built in 2007, the 350-metre-long bridge stretches across the River Shannon to create a link between the university's established County Limerick campus to the south and its expansion into County Clare to the north.

The river is a designated conservation area, so Wilkinson Eyre designed the bridge to be as sensitive as possible to its setting. Rather than extending out straight, it has a curved path that expands and contracts to create narrower sections.The structure, developed in partnership with engineer Arup, comprises six steel cable-truss spans.These create the under-slung catenary cables that give the bridge its unusual curving profile.
