The bridge was designed by L2 Architects, a firm located in Oslo.
The construction is made of steel and glass, with a cutting-edge architecture that has made it a popular spot for photo and film shoots. The bridge offers great views of Oslo's new row of high rises and Barcode. Its colourful lighting makes for an exciting crossing after dark.
Akrobaten was awarded 1st price (Certificate of Excellence) in ECCS, European Award for Steel Bridges, in 2012.
