Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke, Cable-stayed bridge in Bonn, Germany.

The Friedrich-Ebert Bridge extends 1,290 meters across the Rhine River, featuring two steel pylons rising 55 meters and supporting 80 steel cables in a harp configuration.

The bridge, completed in 1967, marked a milestone in German engineering as the first cable-stayed structure to implement a multi-cable system instead of traditional tension cables.

The structure connects the main city of Bonn with the suburb of Beuel, representing the engineering achievements during Germany's post-war reconstruction period.

The bridge incorporates two three-lane carriageways for vehicles, along with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, forming part of the A 565 motorway network.

The bridge's steel construction includes a 29-meter-wide carriageway slab, complemented by concrete approach structures measuring 660 meters on the left bank and 110 meters on the right.
