Bellmouth Bridges
In this competition entry BPR proposed two opening footbridges to
cross the Bellmouth Passage in Canary Wharf, London. The
south bridge is a two-storey pair of swing bridges
with an open-air upper deck. The centre of the bridge
is enlivened by a double height restaurant and bar that
cantilevers over the dock. The north bridge is a vertically-opening bascule
bridge that includes seating to enjoy views along the
passage.
