Ecoduct Treeker Wissel

Because of its prominent visibility location, extra care was taken to ensure the appearance of this ecoduct. According to architect Edwin Megens and landscape architect Steven Jansen, the asymmetrical shape expresses that this is a connection between two different areas. On the one side the high-altitude Leusderheide, on the other side the forest complex of Den Treek-Henschoten.

Within this asymmetrical form, much attention has been paid to the integration of the fencing, transitions and edges. Holland Composites executed the edge elements of the ecoduct in a plastic composite product, which are attached 'blind' to the concrete structure. The organic shape with a curve, chamfer and arch give the ecoduct a special and striking appearance.

To allow passersby under the ecoduct to see what is going on above their heads, animal figures have been incorporated into the concrete artwork. Artists from Amerpoort (an organization for people with intellectual disabilities) contributed to the design in a special way with their figures.

To make this ecoduct sustainable, several measures have been taken: rainwater is collected through wells and then infiltrated into the subsoil. The asphalt construction is noise reducing. The lighting under the ecoduct is adjusted to the light intensity of the environment for the animals. This means that at night the lighting intensity is automatically adjusted.
