Talbrücke Sechshelden

The Sechshelden Valley Bridge is a prestressed concrete structure in Haiger that carries the A45 federal highway across the Dill Valley. The span extends approximately 937 meters and crosses the valley at a height of roughly 25 meters.

The structure was built between 1966 and 1968 as an important connection for long-distance traffic. It has shaped regional transportation since its completion and remains a key part of the A45 highway infrastructure.

The bridge structure divides the Sechshelden district of Haiger, creating a permanent presence in the daily lives of local residents.

Direct access to the bridge itself is not available since it remains an active highway structure. Visitors can view the structure from below or from surrounding areas at a distance.

The structure rests on 74 support pillars arranged in groups of four with circular cross-sections. Some of these pillars reach heights of up to 22 meters.
