Siegtalbrücke

The Siegtal Bridge spans across the Sieg Valley with a height of 106 meters, making it the second highest bridge in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Constructed between 1964 and 1969 as part of the A45 motorway, the bridge represents a major infrastructure development in post-war Germany's transportation network.

The bridge serves as a reference point for engineering studies, demonstrating German construction methods with its prestressed concrete design and hollow box structure.

The bridge stretches 1,050 meters with twelve spans, carrying vehicular traffic on two separate decks while maintaining a constant construction height of 5.80 meters.

A 110-kilovolt power line passes beneath the bridge, and plans are in place to replace it with a cable-stayed bridge by 2027.
