Cardinal Frings Bridge, Girder road bridge in Neuss, Germany.

The Cardinal Frings Bridge stretches 780 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the municipalities of Neuss and Düsseldorf with its steel girder construction.

Construction of the bridge began in the post-war reconstruction period, and its completion in 1951 marked a crucial step in rebuilding West German infrastructure.

The structure bears the name of Cardinal Josef Frings, who served as Archbishop of Cologne and participated in the Second Vatican Council.

The bridge carries the Bundesstraße 1 highway and includes dedicated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, serving thousands of daily commuters.

The bridge structure incorporates engineering elements from the 1950s, featuring specific design choices that reflect the industrial capabilities of post-war Germany.
