Kampmann bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Heisingen district, Germany.
The Kampmann Bridge stretches across the Ruhr River with a total length of 173 meters, connecting the districts of Heisingen and Kupferdreh in Essen.
Construction of the modern Kampmann Bridge began in 2017 to replace a deteriorating steel-concrete composite structure from the 1950s that required demolition.
The bridge design incorporates elements that maintain clear views of the Ruhr River, reflecting the regional focus on integrating infrastructure with natural surroundings.
The bridge structure utilizes existing columns and pile trestles from the previous construction, reducing costs and simplifying the building process considerably.
Engineers developed a specialized tensioning method for the bridge, resulting in compact rope anchorages that minimize visual interference with the landscape.
