Appreciations towards Architectual Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University for providing the following description:

陶溪川红桥是一座横跨千年瓷都景德镇市区主要交通公路之一的、为行人和自行车通行打造的景观桥。桥长53米，高6.4米，将西侧的陶溪川创意广场和东侧由为民瓷厂改造的创业街坊连接起来，形成一条长2公里的步行道。这座桥成为景德镇城市规划的一种新方法，将被交通基础设计分开的社区重新连接起来，并推行绿色出行模式。

Taoxichuan Red Bridge is a landscape bridge designed for pedestrians and cyclists, spanning one of the major traffic arteries in the urban area of Jingdezhen City, the millennium-old porcelain capital. With a length of 53 meters and a height of 6.4 meters, it links Taoxichuan Creative Plaza on the west side to the entrepreneurial block renovated from Weimin Porcelain Factory on the east side, forming a 2-kilometer-long pedestrian walkway. The bridge introduces a new urban strategy for Jingdezhen—subtly repairing the rift created by traffic infrastructure while catalyzing a shift toward green mobility.

设计旨在创造一个简约又突出的、具有雕塑特征的城市标志。红色格栅的表面肌理和S形三维曲面的空间形态从周围环境中脱颖而出，成为景德镇瓷都文化展示的载体。桥的结构被隐藏在U形空心钢制格栅型材中，这些型材在阳光下形成动态的光影效果。红色来自景德镇瓷器里的霁红，夜晚则呈现窑火般的照明效果。桥面预埋光纤，繁星点点如鹊桥相会。

The design is intended to create The bridge introduces a new urban strategy for Jingdezhen—subtly repairing the rift created by traffic infrastructure while catalyzing a shift toward green mobility. The surface texture of the red grilles and the spatial form of the S-shaped 3D curved surface stand out prominently from the surrounding environment, serving as a carrier for showcasing Jingdezhen’s porcelain capital culture. The bridge’s structure is concealed within U-shaped hollow steel grille profiles. The hollow profiles capture sunlight to cast shifting patterns of light and shadow that animate the bridge throughout the day. The red color is derived from the ji hong (sacrificial red) glaze of Jingdezhen porcelain. At night, the bridge presents a kiln fire-like lighting effect. Optical fibers pre-embedded in the bridge deck are distributed like stars, resembling the scene of the Magpie Bridge rendezvous.

桥身采用整体式钢桁-钢箱梁组合结构，钢材受拉、混凝土受压，充分发挥两种材料的力学性能，实现1+1>2的效果。主跨36m，主梁高0.4m，高跨比1/90，属国际目前同类跨度梁高最小的景观桥。主梁兼做桁架下弦杆，实现构件受力效率最大化。采用装配式施工理念，施工过程快、不影响下部交通。

The bridge adopts an integral steel truss-steel box girder composite structure, where steel bears tensile forces and concrete withstands compressive forces. This design gives full play to the mechanical properties of the two materials, achieving an effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. With a main span of 36 meters and a main girder height of 0.4 meters, resulting in a height-span ratio of 1:90. It ranks as the landscape bridge with the smallest girder height for the same span category worldwide at present. The main girder also functions as the lower chord of the truss, maximizing the load-bearing efficiency of the components. Prefabricated construction enabled rapid assembly on site while maintaining uninterrupted traffic below.
