With a 36-metre main span, it keeps pedestrian and cycle traffic out of the undisturbed valley and stream corridor, while significantly improving accessibility. The suspension structure is supported by six locked-coil cables arranged in a parabolic profile and carries a 2-metre-wide deck formed by perforated, non-slip steel panels. The bridge was designed using lightweight prefabricated elements, allowing it to be assembled without cranes and minimising its impact on the natural surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Degree of Freedom was responsible for the bridge design and structural engineering throughout the project. Our scope also included technical support during fabrication and construction, as well as inspection of the steel structure. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\" my-10\">\n                        <div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jungle-bridge_Are-Carlsen_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"js-project-content-image w-full h-auto object-cover\" \/>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\" my-10\">\n                        <div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jungle-bridge_Are-Carlsen_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"js-project-content-image w-full h-auto object-cover\" \/>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\" my-10\">\n            <div class=\"grid grid-cols-2 gap-[20px]\">\n                            <div>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jungle-bridge_Are-Carlsen_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"js-project-content-image w-full h-auto object-cover\" \/>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jungle-bridge_Are-Carlsen_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"js-project-content-image w-full h-auto object-cover\" \/>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\" my-10\">\n                        <div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jungle-bridge_Are-Carlsen_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"js-project-content-image w-full h-auto object-cover\" \/>\n                                    <div class=\"mt-2.5 grid grid-cols-6\">\n                        <div class=\"col-span-2 text-[12px] text-black\">\n                            Are Carlsen\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2366,"menu_order":0,"template":"","typology":[66],"material":[68],"location":[65],"class_list":["post-2361","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","typology-bridges-infrastructures","material-steel","location-norway"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/2361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=2361"},{"taxonomy":"material","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/material?post=2361"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freedom.degree\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=2361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
