The new pedestrian bridge replaces the former Ludwig Volk footbridge, which no longer met the required safety standards, and connects the southern district of Margetshöchheim with the center of Veitshöchheim on the opposite side of the Main. The footbridge is used primarily by pedestrians and cyclists and connects the municipality of Veitshöchheim to the River Main Cycle Route that runs along the western bank.
The striking cable-stayed bridge is designed as a tied-back suspension bridge. The masts are inclined backwards, placed to the side of the superstructure and tensioned backwards with two cables each. On both sides of the slender superstructure plate, hanger cables are arranged, which are connected to lateral brackets. The ramps on the Margetshöchheim and Veitshöchheim sides are designed as conventional continuous girders.
The entire structure was constructed monolithically. The only bearing components are arranged at the column heads of the ramp supports and at the base points of the masts. These bearings were constructed as durable, maintenance-free point rocker bearings made of stainless steel.
The slender structure blends seamlessly into its surroundings and marks elegant the location for crossing the river Main, visible from afar.A continuous stainless steel cable mesh railing with LED lighting integrated into the handrail complements the elegant appearance of the bridge.
