Mainbrücke Volkach

The Mainbrücke Volkach stretches 199 meters across the Main River, featuring two traffic lanes and a dedicated path for pedestrians and cyclists.

The first bridge at this location opened in 1892 as a stone arch structure with six arches, measuring 4.5 meters in width and requiring toll payment until 1938.

The bridge includes a steel sculpture called Nepomuk-Strudel, created by Munich artist Werner Mally, which adds an artistic element to the structure.

The structure serves approximately 9,000 vehicles daily, providing a critical connection between Volkach and Astheim while maintaining a clearance of 6.5 meters above water level.

The construction cost reached 17 million euros, incorporating a modern girder design that replaced a temporary railway bridge that had served the area from 1949 to 1991.
