Lighting plays an important part in the expression and experience of the bridge. Both during the day and at night, light is filtered through the bridge’s expanded metal, creating vibrant and varying displays of light which will transform the bridge into a rhythmic and luminous sequence at dusk. The bridge’s appearance as a luminous universe of light will welcome users to Trekroner and create security for those passing through during the hours of darkness.
The bridge concept is being developed in close partnership with COWI, Roskilde Municipality and MTH. The new pedestrian and bicycle bridge is expected to be completed in the spring of 2022.
