As part of the new residential district Nieuw Wolfslaar in Breda, a landscape park and a new bus lane have been designed. Commissioned by the Municipality of Breda, we designed the 300-metre-long bus lane, the bus bridge, and the connections to the park.
Where the walking route and bus lane meet
The new landscape park, with the meandering course of the River Bavelse Leij, walking paths, and distinctive vegetation, called for a clear and functional intervention. The bus lane and bridge have been laid as a pure circular segment within the landscape. The connections to the walking paths, on either side of the bridge, through the landscape are designed in corten steel and with gabion elements.
Asphalt mixed with shells
In addition to the route for the city bus, the bus lane is also used by cyclists and pedestrians. This separation of functions is made visible by incorporating a continuous concrete strip. The two asphalt lanes differ in their composition. The slow-traffic route is surfaced with shell asphalt. Light poles of our own design have been installed within the concrete strip.
