The San Shan Bridge will span the Gui River and will be an integral part of the infrastructure program for the Olympic Winter Games 2022 in Beijing connecting the city centre with Zhangjiakou. The structure of San Shan Bridge connects the shores of Gui River through a 452m long bridge deck and is divided into three sets of cross-connected arch-like steel structures with a maximum span of 95m.

The San Shan Bridge is an outcome of a combined effort between Penda as an architect and engineers to streamline a design which is based on a connection of formal principles and structural innovations. Through this shared effort it is possible to design a unique structural form, that can become a symbol for an inviting spirit of the Olympic Games and beyond that can promote Beijing’s identity as a globally connected city.
