Appeared as a bridge of 130m span 28m high, the bridge is practically a 10-storey fully all-weather 24-hour in operation building of about max. floor plate 3800sqm. with amenities of restaurants, an information centre, shops, viewing decks and interesting glass floors experience apart from being an easier and more energy-efficient connection between two concourses.
The bridge building with a record-breaking span allowing A380 airplanes to pass through, showcases a seamless integration of architecture and engineering. To avoid disruption to airplane traffic, the bridge was well-coordinated and prefabricated with most of the roof and curtain wall completed offsite. It was then hoisted into position overnight with remarkable accuracy. Special effort was taken to create a minimalistic exterior and interior to celebrate the bold structure and elegant arch.
