Avenue John F. Kennedy, Transformation of the Kirchberg motorway, Luxembourg by Latz + Partner
Transformation of the Kirchberg motorway into an urban boulevard: the Avenue John F. Kennedy.
Once a road system being organized almost only for individual traffic, it is now a generous tree-lined open space for pedestrians, cyclists, cars and public transport, connecting formerly separated quarters to a vivid urban district.
The boulevard is 60 meters wide and 3,5 kilometers long, stretching from the eastern roundabout with the huge artwork of Richard Serra, to the Rue Weicker in the West Columnar oaks mark the middle of the profile being the backbone of the eight-row avenue, with two rows of European oak-trees on both sides and American pear-trees along the spacious walk-and cycle-ways in front of the buildings.
The section shows the main roads for the through traffic, the access roads and the track for the streetcar,
and the zones for pedestrians and cyclists.
