Bryggebroen
Bryggebroen ( lit.: ''The Quay Bridge'') is one of the new bicycle/pedestrian bridges in Copenhagen inner harbour and is a combined pedestrian and bicyclist bridge directed east-west. The bridge is joined to ''Kalvebod Brygge'' and Cykelslangen bridge (west) and ''Islands Brygge'' (east) and thus connects Vesterbro on Zealand and Amager. The bridge has become a popular place for attaching love padlocks. The bridge which opened to public on 14 September 2006 is wide, divided by a pedestrian path and cycling path and constructed as a swing bridge to allow larger sailing vessels to pass. The name of the bridge was among the suggestions in a naming project organized by the Danish daily ''Politiken'' in which more than 200 suggestions were submitted. The name ''Bryggebroen'' was elected by the newspaper as the winner because it connects the two quays (lit.: ''brygger'') ''Islands Brygge'' and ''Kalvebod Brygge''. The Copenhagen street name committee then accepted the name and it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Islands Brygge
Islands Brygge (English: Iceland's Quay) is a harbourfront area in central Copenhagen, Denmark, located on the north-western coast of Amager. The neighbourhood is noted for its waterfront park Havneparken, which is one of the most popular areas along the Copenhagen harbourfront and the location of one of the Copenhagen Harbour Baths. Established through a series of land reclamations from the 1880s, it served both military, residential, industrial and dockland purposes. In the mid-20th century it developed an infamous reputation as a neglected industrial and dockland area, but since 2000 it has undergone massive redevelopment and has become a fashionable and attractive neighbourhood. It is characterized by a mixture of old buildings and modern architecture, with a number of old structures relating to the area's dockland past preserved and converted into new functions. Geography Islands Brygge has an area of roughly 1 km² and a population of 12,147 (2009), though it has ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pedestrian
A pedestrian is a person traveling on foot, whether walking or running. In modern times, the term usually refers to someone walking on a road or pavement, but this was not the case historically. The meaning of pedestrian is displayed with the morphemes ''ped-'' ('foot') and ''-ian'' ('characteristic of'). This word is derived from the Latin term ''pedester'' ('going on foot') and was first used (in English language) during the 18th century. It was originally used, and can still be used today, as an adjective meaning plain or dull. However, in this article it takes on its noun form and refers to someone who walks. The word pedestrian may have been used in middle French in the Recueil des Croniques et Anchiennes Istories de la Grant Bretaigne, à présent nommé Engleterre. In California the definition of a pedestrian has been broadened to include anyone on any human powered vehicle that is not a bicycle, as well as people operating self-propelled wheelchairs by reason of p ...

Bridges In Copenhagen
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) without blocking the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, and the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge (dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese) is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use. Etymology The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' traces the origin of the wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
