Glacisbrücke

The Glacis Bridge extends 164 meters across the Danube River with a reinforced concrete structure featuring a 76-meter central span.

Construction of the bridge began in 1996 and reached completion in 1998, marking a substantial addition to Ingolstadt's transportation network.

The bridge takes its name from military architecture terminology, where a glacis refers to an artificial slope extending from a fortification.

The bridge carries Bundesstraße 13 and Ringstraße traffic with its 12-meter width, connecting different sections of Ingolstadt across the Danube.

The bridge employs a batter-post rigid-frame design where support structures extend at angles from deck to abutments for optimal weight distribution.
