Until the road construction project on the S84 from Niederwartha (Dresden) to Meißen was started, there had literally been no connection between Cossebaude and Radebeul/Coswig since 1945.
As part of this project a new bridge is being constructed, parallel to the existing railway bridge.
SPECIAL FEATURES - This is the first cable-stayed bridge in Saxony and the longest cable-stayed bridge in Germany constructed in the composite construction method and has a total length of 366 m and a 77 m high pylon.
- The pylon provides interior access for regular inspections through ladders and platforms. Loads and tools for maintenance work can be transported by way of a freight elevator located inside the pylon above water level.
- The span in the centre of the bridge is 192 m.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Bridge deck area: 4575 m² Effective span: 22 – 23 – 23 – 23.5 – 192 – 82.5 m / Pylon height: 77.25 m Reinforcement: 1,459 t Bridge length: 366 m (superstructure) Construction height superstructure: 2 m Construction period: 2006 - 2008 Order value: € 12.1 million ALPINE part: € 6.171 million
