Palmrain, International road bridge between Weil am Rhein, Germany and Huningue, France.
Description
Palmrain is a road bridge made of prestressed concrete that crosses the Rhine River between Weil am Rhein and Huninge. The structure spans approximately 289 meters and was designed to handle regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
History
The bridge opened in 1979 and created a new direct connection between France and Germany across the Rhine. It marked an important moment in building regional transportation links between the two countries.
Culture
The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where French and German residents move between their communities for work and social life. Local people have come to depend on it as a normal part of their routine between the two countries.
Practical
The bridge is open to vehicles and pedestrians at all times, providing a straightforward crossing between the two towns. You can use it whenever you need without worrying about closure times.
Did you know?
The structure uses prestressed concrete technology, a modern method that makes the bridge lighter and stronger than traditional designs. This system allows heavy loads to be distributed across a relatively slender framework.
