The project enabled the stabilization and enhancement of the Alzette riverbanks over a length of 780 m in Ettelbruck, in collaboration with the engineering firm Eepi. Various techniques were applied, such as the use of regional stone blocks, rockfill, fascines, and groynes to limit erosion.
The pedestrian and cycling path was renovated, with new access points to the water, including at the semicircular footbridge extended by trapezoidal slabs.
A new entrance area was created to the pedestrian zone, integrating the existing footbridge and providing a smooth transition to the city center. Concrete benches were added for increased comfort, and a steel-and-wood floating footbridge was constructed to offer an immersive Alzette experience.
