Sinntalbrücke

The Sinntalbrücke spans 755 meters across the Sinn Valley, featuring dual carriageways supported by seven pairs of round pillars reaching heights of 44 meters.

Construction of the current bridge began in 2009 to replace the original 1960s structure, which required demolition due to increased heavy traffic wear.

The bridge design maintains continuity with regional infrastructure while demonstrating advancements in German engineering through its steel composite construction methods.

The structure carries the A7 motorway with two lanes and an emergency lane in each direction, connecting the cities of Fulda and Würzburg.

Engineers used soap as a lubricant to slide the 6,750-ton steel superstructure into position at a rate of 15 to 20 meters per hour.
