Neckartalbrücke

The Neckartalbrücke extends 1350 meters across the Neckar River valley, featuring separate superstructures for both traffic directions with three lanes each.

The original bridge, constructed between 1965 and 1967, operated until 2017 when replacement construction began due to structural concerns and increased traffic demands.

The bridge completion timing aligned with the Bundesgartenschau 2019 garden exhibition in Heilbronn, marking a period of infrastructure modernization in the region.

This automotive connection serves approximately 110,000 vehicles daily, with one-third consisting of heavy goods transport crossing between Heilbronn and Neckarsulm.

The bridge incorporates wavy main girders reaching heights of 8.3 meters above the pylons, demonstrating modern engineering techniques in steel composite construction.
