Fußgängerbrücke am Torhausplatz, Footbridge at Torhausplatz, Kelheim, Germany

The Fußgängerbrücke am Torhausplatz is a curved pedestrian bridge over the Main-Danube Canal in Kelheim. Its continuous prestressed concrete beam, 4.18 m wide and 1 m deep, follows roughly half an ellipse, with a 61.84 m span and 6.85 m clearance for shipping. The beam hangs on one side from 38 hangers attached to a 90 mm steel cable, which is deflected by two 18 m inclined steel tube masts and anchored in abutments under the ramps.

The Altmühltorbrücke, the previous bridge on this site, had to give way to the widening of the Altmühl into the Main-Danube Canal. The pedestrian bridge was built from 1986 to 1988, before the canal was finished, which allowed the walkway slab to be cast on scaffolding. It was the first curved bridge with a one-sided cable-stayed structure, and its design received an award at the 1988 Ingenieurbau-Preis.

The bridge's design won an award at the Ingenieurbau-Preis 1988, a German engineering prize. It was the first curved bridge with a one-sided cable-stayed structure, a fact engineers still cite when discussing it. The name comes from the Torhausplatz square at its western end in Kelheim.

The bridge offers a walkway roughly 3.3 meters wide and is easily accessible from the surrounding streets of Kelheim. The access is free in both directions and allows quick crossing of the canal on foot.

The deck is a single continuous prestressed-concrete beam only 4.18 metres wide and one metre deep, curved like half an ellipse: its radius runs from 18.89 metres where it meets the ramps to 37.79 metres at mid-span. The 38 hangers, spaced about 2.3 metres apart, attach along a 0.5-metre strip at the inner edge.
