West India Quay Footbridge, Pontoon footbridge in Isle of Dogs, England.
The West India Quay Footbridge extends 94 meters across the dock, supported by four pairs of X-shaped tubular steel struts mounted on pontoon floats.
The bridge, completed in 1996, stands at the former West India Docks, which operated as major commercial shipping facilities during the nineteenth century.
Future Systems architects Jan Kaplický and Amanda Levete designed this structure, incorporating modern engineering principles with functional pedestrian requirements.
The wooden-planked deck includes two opening sections that allow water vessels to pass through, while integrated handrail lighting ensures nighttime visibility.
The lime-green painted structure features polystyrene-filled pontoon floats, resembling a water-boatman insect resting on the water surface.
