Industrial park bridge west, Cable-stayed bridge in Sindlingen, Germany

Werksbrücke West is a private road and railway bridge over the Main at kilometre 22.030, on the western edge of the Höchst industrial park. Its single pylon stands on the left bank: two reinforced-concrete legs only 8 m apart flank the centre of a 30.95 m wide deck. The deck is a continuous prestressed-concrete hollow box stiffened by cross beams every 3 m, with a 148.23 m main span.

Built from 1970 to 1972 for the Farbwerke Hoechst, the Werksbrücke West was designed by Ulrich Finsterwalder and Herbert Schambeck with architect Gerd Lohmer and erected by Dyckerhoff & Widmann. It was the first prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge carrying both rail and road traffic, and the first with a harp-shaped cable arrangement.

The bridge is private, built for the former Hoechst dye works, and its eastern carriageway carries most of the plant's internal lorry traffic between the north and south works, including access to the Rhein-Main container port opened in 2004. Its west side carries a publicly accessible private road, closed to motor traffic for several years, which runs as an elevated road on the works wall to the Sindlinger Kreisel at Gate West.

The bridge is private and lies at the western edge of the Höchst industrial park at Main kilometre 22.030. Its western side carries a publicly accessible private road, but this has been closed to motorised traffic for several years; the eastern carriageway handles most internal lorry traffic between the north and south works, including access to the Rhein-Main container port opened in 2004. The deck is 30.95 m wide, with a central strip for one railway track and pipelines and two outer strips, each with a two-lane carriageway and a footpath.

The bridge's single pylon stands on the left bank, its two reinforced-concrete legs only 8 m apart, flanking a 30.95 m deck split into a central strip for one railway track and pipelines and two outer strips each holding a two-lane roadway and a footpath. The 148.23 m main span is not fully suspended: because the southern pipeline had to leave the bridge after about 95 m, prestressed-concrete cantilever pairs, called Betonsegel, project about 30 m from the northern bank pier.
