Designed by Matter Architecture, Murdoch’s Connection Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge connecting Hull’s city center with its waterfront. Named after Dr. Mary Murdoch, the city’s first female general practitioner, the 40-meter-long bridge features a distinctive steel arch and shell hybrid structure that also serves as a canopy and viewing platform. Public spaces at both ends create an inviting connection, offering views of the surrounding city and docks.

CIG contributed to the realization of the bridge through the engineering of its complex 3D shell structure and the production of its 3D elements. Combining technical expertise with precision fabrication, CIG helped bring the bridge’s sculptural design to life, contributing to a functional and recognizable landmark in Hull.
