The award ceremony for the public’s favourite in timber construction took place on 19 September 2024: the Rigiaa Bridge.
A unique wooden bridge was built on the Rigi, reduced to the essentials. The Rigiaa Bridge is a further development of the neighbouring Fruttli Bridge, which was built in 2020 and won an innovation award in the USA in 2023 as the world’s first heavy-duty bridge in timber-UHPC composite construction.
It shows that timber can also compete with conventional constructions for road bridges – with major advantages in terms of construction time, durability and sustainability.
It’s great that we were able to be part of this bridge. Click here for the winners’ overview.
