Rhine bridge Neuenkamp

The Neuenkamp cable-stayed bridge crosses the Rhine with two separate superstructures supported by steel cables connected to central towers. The structure carries the Federal Highway A40 across the river.

Construction of this cable-stayed bridge began in 1970 to create a needed connection for Federal Highway A40. The project was part of infrastructure development in the Ruhr region during that decade's economic growth.

The bridge shapes Duisburg's cityscape and forms part of the infrastructure connecting the city to its industrial past. It enables daily traffic flow between districts that would otherwise be separated by the river.

The bridge is passable year-round and regularly maintained to ensure safe crossings. Pedestrians and cyclists should note that this is a highway and separate paths must be used.

The bridge towers connect monolithically to the deck, forming a unified structure that directly transfers traffic loads. This design allows for the long main span without additional support bearings or expansion joints.
