Flughafenbrücke, Cable-stayed road bridge in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Flughafenbrücke spans 1,286.5 meters across the Rhine River with two V-shaped support pillars reaching 34 meters in height to accommodate airport regulations.
The construction of this bridge, completed in June 2002, required an investment of 160 million Deutsche Mark and connected Meerbusch with northern Düsseldorf.
The bridge design reflects German engineering principles by combining functional requirements with structural efficiency in response to local infrastructure challenges.
Six traffic lanes and dedicated pedestrian and cycling paths on both sides facilitate daily movement of 64,000 vehicles between the city and airport.
The bridge features an unconventional low-height pylon design specifically engineered to prevent interference with aircraft operations at the nearby Düsseldorf Airport.
