Tausendfüßler

The Tausendfüßler spans 630 meters across Bonn, carrying the A565 federal motorway between the Tannenbusch and Endenich junctions with four lanes without emergency strips.

The bridge was completed in 1959 as part of the B9 elevated road, later upgraded to motorway A221 in 1971, and received its current designation in 1974.

The name Tausendfüßler, meaning millipede, refers to the numerous support columns that characterize the northern section of the bridge construction.

The structure accommodates 90,000 vehicles daily, exceeding its original design capacity of 70,000, leading to plans for expansion to handle 115,000 vehicles.

The bridge crosses multiple transport routes, including the Lievelingsweg, Brühler Street, four city railway tracks, and passes through the northern head of Bonn's freight station.
