Bratislava: Floating promenade should be build-up on the Danube River waterfront

The public accessible floating promenade ought to dulcify the Danube River waterfront on the Old City bank in Bratislava. The continual pedestrian promenade, the exterior and all-year interior sittings as well as the passenger port will be created in the entire almost 1 km length between the Old Bridge and the New Bridge. Architects Zoran Michalčák and Martin Paško from Design Factory introduced the Promenade on water Project. The work by 66 millions € ought to begin realizing after the flood-protection is built-up at the beginning of year 2010. „The project does not cover public areas, it does not require change of the planning scheme and is financed exclusively from private sources. An important aspect is revitalization of currently unused part of the waterfront and making the picture of Bratislava more attractive,“ Paško states. A simple system of anchoring will enable transporting the entire finished Promenade on water by the Danube River to Bratislava and to anchor 11 bateaus consequently. „The promenade creates conditions so as Bratislava inhabitants could approach the Danube River as it is in other world cities. They will can sit up to water, what was not here till now,“ Štefan Šlachta, the main city architect, told.
