Expo-Brücke, Cable-stayed bridge in Duisburg, Germany
The Expo Bridge spans 70 meters across the A3 motorway with a yellow pylon reaching 50 meters into the sky and steel cables supporting the walkway.
Architects Egon Eiermann and Sep Ruf designed this bridge for the 1958 Brussels World Exhibition before its relocation to Duisburg as a zoo crossing.
The bridge represents a significant example of post-war German engineering, demonstrating the period's structural innovations in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The 4.40-meter-wide pedestrian passage connects the urban forest areas of Duisburg, offering residents a direct route across the six-lane highway.
Three parallel cables on each side of the tilted yellow tower support the steel hollow box beam with its varying width configuration.
