Bendorfer Brücke, Prestressed concrete highway bridge in Koblenz, Germany

The Bendorfer Brücke stretches 1029 meters across the Rhine River, featuring a central span of 208 meters supported by thin concrete piers.

Engineer Ulrich Finsterwalder designed this bridge in 1962, implementing a double cantilevering method that eliminated the need for scaffolding in the water.

The bridge structure represents a significant example of German engineering advances during the post-war reconstruction period of the 1960s.

This infrastructure carries over 60,000 vehicles daily on the A48 autobahn, connecting the central district of Koblenz with its surrounding suburbs.

At its completion in 1965, the bridge's main span of 208 meters set a world record for prestressed concrete bridge construction.
