It was the idea of the architect to provide these initially six bridges with different lengths and widths, out of which later four were built, with a homogeneous image. His scenery of light masts was transformed by the engineers into a logical structural concept applying the principle of cable-stayed bridges – a successful symbiosis of architectural and engineering principles. All bridges are based on a raster of 7.5 × 7.5 m and are built of equal elements.
Longest bridge: 18 × 7.5 m = 135 m
Widest bridge: 6 × 7.5 m = 45 m
Largest span: 6 × 7.5 m = 45 m
Steel: St 52-3
Tensile rods: Macalloy 460
Cast steel: GS 20 MN 5 V
Deck slab, permanent: concrete B25
Deck slab, temporary: larch, profiled
