Light and airy in appearance and maintenance over the next 80 years stands a newly built bridge outside Hamburg. The small town outside Hamburg Reinbeck received in late November, a new footbridge located on an expressway. With new bridge is also how it is built. Instead of concrete, steel and fiberglass was used for the 98 meters long and 3.5 meter wide bridge. Thanks to the construction material is to clear the bridge 80 years before it's time for maintenance, compared to 20 years for a concrete bridge, believes the building authority of the city. The bridge had been built up in three sections elsewhere, driven to his position with three trucks and lifted into place by crane in less than conventional bridges usually take. The bridge has been designed and designed by design firm Werner Sobek in Stuttgart. |
