Pfaffenstein motorway bridge

The Pfaffenstein motorway bridge is a prestressed concrete structure that carries the A93 across the Danube River. Its simple functional design includes supporting piers anchored in the river and a roadway deck that handles traffic in both directions.

Built in 1967, the bridge was constructed to manage rising vehicle traffic during Germany's industrial expansion period. It formed part of the infrastructure improvements that connected Regensburg to surrounding regions through modern expressway networks.

The bridge represents the technical capabilities of German engineering, standing near Regensburg's medieval architecture and demonstrating the evolution of construction methods.

Access is only available via the A93 expressway roadway, with no pedestrian crossing provided on the bridge. The structure can best be viewed from the river's banks or nearby embankments along the Danube.

The bridge's location at the intersection of routes B8 and B15 creates a central connection point for regional traffic flow across the Danube River.
