Lechbrücke Gersthofen, Highway bridge in Augsburg, Germany
The Lechbrücke Gersthofen spans across the Lech River with a total length of 109 meters and a width of 41 meters at coordinates 48.414179, 10.889049.
The first bridge at this location was constructed between 1935 and 1936, later destroyed in April 1945, followed by reconstruction and subsequent improvements.
The bridge integrates pedestrian and cycling paths on its southern side, connecting the communities of Augsburg and Gersthofen through sustainable transportation options.
This six-lane highway bridge carries the A8 autobahn traffic, featuring concrete protective barriers that separate vehicle lanes from pedestrian and cycling areas.
During construction in August 2005, flooding caused the temporary foundation to erode, resulting in the steel structure tilting and risking collapse into the river.
