Malta Bridge Structure Design

Home / Malta Bridge Structure Design

The St Elmo Bridge is a single-span arched truss steel footbridge leading from the foreshore of Fort Saint Elmo in Valletta, Malta, to the breakwater at the entrance of the Grand Harbour. It was constructed in 2011–12 to designs of the Spanish architects Arenas & Asociados. The unique Valletta Grand Harbour (today UNESCO World Heritage Site) has been used as a port since Roman Empire times thanks to its magnificent natural characteristics, with a number of inlets which provide adequate shelter to naval vessels. The Msida Creek Flyover forms part of a €35 million national infrastructure project aimed at modernising one of Malta's most strategic and heavily trafficked transport corridors. After months of dedicated effort, the team at General Maintenance Ltd, in collaboration with several subcontractors, has successfully completed the design, fabrication, installation, electrical works, and finishing of a 110-meter curved steel bridge. An opening near its land end was left to prevent water stagnation and shorten routes for smaller crafts.
