This book contains 85 examples of footbridges built worldwide over past three decades and includes open pedestrian and cycle bridges, utility bridges and skywalks in many different environments. The collection is arranged according to load bearing system and span length. There is a brief description of the location and structural system of each bridge illustrated by photographs, plans, elevations and in some cases construction details. It is a treasure trove for bridge builders.

Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Idelberger is a structural engineer and the author of numerous technical descriptions of internationally acclaimed structure. His bridge collection is the result of his own research at locations all over the world and the first-hand technical information he received from the engineers, building contractors and building authorities involved.
