Glacis Bridge Ingolstadt
The Glacis Bridge is a road bridge in Ingolstadt and was built from 1996 to 1998, making it the youngest of the four Danube bridges in Ingolstadt that are open to road traffic . It is part of the Ingolstadt ring road system and federal highway 13 and the westernmost road bridge in the city. The Glacis Bridge is crossed by around 50,000 vehicles every day. The bridge was named after the Glacis , the former fortress belt and today's park, which surrounds the old town of Ingolstadt. The citizens of Ingolstadt were involved in naming the bridge and were able to choose from three suggested names.
The structure has a total length of 164 meters, with its driveway leading south of the Danube through the Luitpoldpark and dividing it. The 12-meter-wide deck has a 70-centimeter-high, two-web T-beam cross- section , which spans over 42 meters or 46 meters in the side panels and over 76 meters in the middle and is supported by underslung cables. The sub-tensioning consists of two by four ropes, each 118 millimeters in diameter. In terms of construction type, the Glacis Bridge is a reinforced concrete truss structure with underslung cables. The footpaths and cycle paths are crossed laterally beneath the roadway with tension band bridges , the gradient of which, as a journey up and down, corresponds to the course of the under-tensioning of the roadway plate.
