Mainbrücke Volkach

Mainbrücke Volkach is a modern road bridge that crosses the Main River valley and connects two communities on opposite banks. The structure includes two traffic lanes and dedicated spaces for pedestrians and cyclists, serving all types of travelers crossing the water.

The site originally held a stone arch bridge from the late 1800s that carried traffic across with multiple arches. The current structure eventually replaced a temporary railway bridge and was built using modern engineering techniques for greater durability.

The bridge serves as a gathering point for the local communities on both banks, with art installations that reflect the area's connection to the Main River. These sculptural elements have become part of the everyday landscape and identity of the surrounding towns.

The bridge is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles with safe routes for all types of traffic crossing the river. Visitors can cross it anytime as it serves as a vital transportation link and remains passable throughout the year.

A sculpture by a Munich artist on the bridge changes its appearance with the light throughout the day. The artwork was specifically designed to reference the historical relationship between the river and the communities that cross it.
