Zimmermannstraßenbrücke, Road bridge in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Berlin, Germany.
Zimmermannstraßenbrücke is a road bridge in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf borough, linking Zimmermannstraße in Biesdorf with Lindenstraße in Kaulsdorf across the Wuhle. The 2016 replacement is 15.50 metres wide between the outer edges of the cornices, with two 3.25-metre lanes, 1.50-metre cycle strips and 2.50-metre sidewalks on each side.
Built in 1936 as a reinforced-concrete slab bridge on concrete piles, it was widened to 4.50 metres in 1952 with added steel-girder walkways and cycle paths. A 2015 inspection found major damage, closing it on 4 May 2015; a replacement opened on 1 October 2016, costing about 1.3 million euros, funded by the Land Berlin.
The bridge structure reflects the engineering standards of 1930s Berlin, displaying characteristics of industrial architecture from that period.
