Bendorfer Brücke, Prestressed concrete highway bridge in Koblenz, Germany
Description
The Bendorfer Brücke is a prestressed concrete bridge that spans the Rhine River and carries traffic on the A48 autobahn. It consists of slender concrete supports and a continuous roadway deck that crosses the water in a long arc.
History
The bridge was designed by Ulrich Finsterwalder in the 1960s and completed in 1965. Its construction used a novel method that required no scaffolding in the water, which was revolutionary for the time.
Culture
The bridge emerged during a period of economic growth and represents pride in technical progress. It shapes the cityscape and serves as a daily symbol of connection between Koblenz and its surrounding areas for many people.
Practical
The bridge is used daily by thousands of vehicles and is safest to view from the pedestrian path or a nearby vantage point along the riverbanks. Good views of the structure can be enjoyed from both sides of the Rhine.
Did you know?
Upon completion, the main span was among the longest for prestressed concrete bridges worldwide. The slender form was made possible because the concrete supports could be designed extremely thin, barely affecting the river.
