Kampmann bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Heisingen district, Germany.
Description
Kampmann Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge that crosses the Ruhr River in Essen, linking the Heisingen and Kupferdreh districts. The structure features cables suspended from tall supports above the roadway.
History
Construction of the current bridge began in 2017 to replace an aging steel structure from the 1950s that had become unsafe. The replacement was necessary to maintain reliable connections across the Ruhr.
Culture
The bridge serves as a daily connection between two neighborhoods, enabling people to cross the Ruhr valley without making long detours. It has become part of the local routine and infrastructure that residents depend on.
Practical
The bridge is accessible to cars and bicycles and functions as a regular road without special conditions. Plan to cross outside rush hours if you prefer lighter traffic and better sightlines along the way.
Did you know?
The engineers reused existing support columns and foundation structures from the old bridge during construction to reduce costs and simplify the building process. This practical choice meant less disruption and faster completion of the project.
