East Harbour Bridge Frankfurt, Steel arch road bridge in Frankfurt, Germany.
The East Harbour Bridge is a steel arch viaduct crossing the Main River and linking the Ostend and Sachsenhausen districts. The structure features separate lanes for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians plus connections to nearby streets and paths.
The bridge opened in 2013 and marks an important milestone in Frankfurt's development. The project significantly improved transportation links between the city's eastern districts.
The bridge connects two city districts and serves as a daily route for residents moving between Ostend and Sachsenhausen neighborhoods. People jog, cycle, and walk here while taking in views of the Main River and its surroundings.
The crossing is accessible to all modes of transport and well integrated into the city's road network, making it easy to traverse the river. The best time for walking or cycling is outside peak hours when vehicle traffic is lighter.
The structure uses arch-based technology that allows it to span without central supports, keeping river traffic completely clear. This design was innovative for its time and creates an impressive open span above the water.
