This traversing structure sits on top of a parapet wall and is formed by two cantilevered and tapered cardboard beams. The beams are connected at their ends to create a symmetrical structure that elegantly rises and falls to clear a mid-span obstruction, a structure that is balanced and that uses material economically. The outer, folded layer of the structure is strengthen by box sections and ribs on its underside, riveted connections are reinforced with plywood washers and bolted connections allow for assembly/ disassembly and the levelling of the structure on site.
