Grimbergbrücke, Footbridge across Rhine-Herne Canal in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The Grimbergbrücke spans 153 meters with a curved steel structure and features a 45-meter-high pylon on its northern side supporting the entire construction.
The bridge, completed in 2009, forms part of the Erzbahntrasse, transforming a former railway line into a modern cycling and pedestrian pathway system.
The European Steel Bridges Award 2010 recognized this structure for its engineering excellence in the footbridge category, marking its contribution to industrial design.
The bridge deck measures 3 meters in width and connects the Erzbahntrasse cycle route with the Emscher Park cycle path through northern and southern access ramps.
The construction required 400 tons of steel, 600 cubic meters of concrete, and 465 meters of cable to create its semicircular spanning structure.
