Werksbrücke West

Werksbrücke West extends 148 meters across the river with a width of 31 meters, supporting railway tracks, vehicle lanes, and pedestrian paths.

Constructed between 1970 and 1972, the bridge served as a vital connection for the Farbwerke Hoechst industrial complex and surrounding communities.

The bridge functions as a central element in Frankfurt's transportation network, connecting communities and facilitating daily interactions between neighborhoods.

Multiple transportation modes share the bridge space, including railways, motor vehicles, bicycles, and dedicated pedestrian walkways for efficient urban mobility.

Engineers implemented the first cable-stayed design specifically created for railway traffic, utilizing prestressed concrete technology in its construction.
