大多数的天桥因内置了过多的公路售卖部而被忽视，但由METAFORM建筑师在阿尔泽特河畔埃施设计的现代人行天桥改变了这一模式，使其融入到卢森堡城市肌理中。该设计旨在为当地行人提供从交通繁重的十字路口到Galgenberg 公园的一个安全而舒适的通道。

自2009年建成以来，这座100多米长的步行桥已成为该市最重要的城市建设工程，在其建造前重点考虑到通往美丽的Galgenberg公园的便捷入口的设置问题。根据建筑师的理念，设计采用现代简约风格，桥身为钢材表皮，营造平和的氛围，与桥下的繁冗交通形成对比。

“如果好奇心没有促使我们走楼梯或坐电梯到达顶部，那么如何通往另一个世界仍充满未知。随着环境的改变，天桥的外观会发生微妙的变化。在天气晴朗的白天，它可以映射出天空的颜色，与周边浓重的树林对比强烈。天气反复无常的时候，天桥表面与灰色的天空融为一体，在有雾的时候几乎分辨不出来。到了晚上，则被城市里过往车辆的灯光照耀出斑斓的色彩。”

该项目一直被许多建筑和设计奖项所青睐。它曾在2007年的国际设计与建造竞赛中独占鳌头，并荣获了2010年度建筑工程奖和2011年度最佳钢结构奖，以及最佳公共设施奖。

Most pedestrian bridges tend to go unnoticed as necessary urban eye sores built over heavily-trafficked highways or roundabouts, but Metaform Architects' modern foot bridge in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg has changed the way pedestrian bridges are integrated into the urban fabric. Designed to guide local pedestrians from a busy intersection to the elevated Galgenberg Park, the structure offers a welcome respite from the chaotic urban routes found under its shadow.

Since its completion in 2009, the 345-foot bridge has become one of the city’s most important urban design projects, especially considering that there were few easily accessible entrances to the beautiful Galgenberg Park before its construction. According to the architects, the uncluttered, minimalist design and the homogeneous steel skin emits a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts the overall unpleasantness of the dizzying roundabout below.

“The access to another world would remain unknown, if curiosity didn’t push us to take the stairs or use the elevator to get to the top. Reflecting its environment, it likes to change its appearance according to its moods. During daytime, when the weather is fine, it shows itself in a sky-grey dress, whose rounded edges contrast furiously with the darkness of the woods beyond. When the weather is more capricious, it withdraws in order to merge with the color of the sky, and can even disappear during a thick fog. At night, it is more discreet, as it allows itself to be illuminated by the city lights and the passing cars and trains.”

The beautiful design has been the recipient of many architectural and design awards. It came in first place in the International Design & Build competition in 2007 and was honored with both the Civil Engineering Building of the Year in 2010 and the Steel Construction Award in 2011, as well as Archdaily’s 2010 Building of the Year Award in the Public Facility Category.
