Bridges & Towers
The lighting renovation of the pedestrian and cycle bridge Mount Carasso-Bellinzona enhances the surrounding landscape with emotional colours.
Featuring the highest percentage of four- and two-wheeled motor vehicles in Switzerland, the Italian speaking Canton Ticino area is facing increasing problems of intense circulation, traffic jams, besides atmospheric and acoustic pollution. The public administration of Bellinzona has been promoting new initiatives in order to solve these environmental issues by encouraging slow mobility. Moving on foot or by bicycle has therefore become a simple and unexpensive alternative, but above all a mindful ecological attitude that is getting more and more popular in the Swiss town. Already enjoying some good cycling infrastructures, Bellinzona keeps on endorsing improvement plans of existing structures as well as the creation of new urban facilities.
