Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke, Beam bridge in Ulm and Neu-Ulm, Germany
Description
The Konrad-Adenauer Bridge crosses the Danube with two parallel hollow box girders resting on two main piers. The structure includes six traffic lanes along with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
History
Engineer Ulrich Finsterwalder designed this prestressed concrete bridge in 1954 using advanced construction methods. The work represented an important step forward in post-war bridge engineering technology.
Culture
The bridge connects two regions across state boundaries and serves as a daily crossing point for residents on both sides. People walk and cycle across it as part of their ordinary routine, making it a functional link between the two communities.
Practical
The bridge experiences heavy daily traffic and has separate zones for pedestrians and cyclists, making it accessible for foot and bike crossings. Plan to encounter busy conditions, and walkers should stick to the marked pathways.
Did you know?
The bridge was built using innovative prestressed concrete methods that were groundbreaking in engineering at the time. This approach made it possible to achieve longer spans than conventional techniques would allow.
