Forty metres of oak and steel across a reed bed.
The bridge is as narrow as two people passing and as low as the reeds allow. The oak deck is laid in lengths one person can carry, so it can be repaired plank by plank.
We visit every finished building after the first winter and again after two years, and we publish what we would do differently.
