Kochertalbrücke, Highway bridge in Neuenstadt am Kocher, Germany.
The Kochertalbrücke stretches 1,128 meters across the valley with nine spans supported by concrete pillars ranging from 40 to 178 meters in height.
Constructed in 1971, the Kochertalbrücke held the record for the bridge with the highest pillars worldwide until the completion of Millau Viaduct in 2004.
The bridge received multiple engineering awards, including the 2016 Deutschen Brückenbaupreis and the 2017 Deutscher Ingenieurbaupreis for its structural excellence.
The structure carries the Autobahn 6 traffic between Heilbronn and Nuremberg, providing essential transportation connectivity across the Kocher Valley region.
A museum in Geislingen am Kocher exhibits dinosaur fossils discovered during the construction of this 185-meter-high concrete viaduct.
