location

The Herrenkrugsteg is a bridge that spans the Elbe and the diked foreland as well as the lock canal in the north of Magdeburg . The S-shaped building connects the Herrenkrugpark on the east side with the Magdeburg-Industriehafen district in the west. The foot and cycle bridge was built on the occasion of the Federal Garden Show in 1999.

The 615 m long bridge consists of an unusually shaped, 250 m long suspension bridge in the river area, which spans the Elbe with a central span of 145 m. The superstructure is supported by two 27 m high pylon posts , which consist of three steel tubes arranged in a triangle, which are connected at five points and converge at both ends. The inclined pylons are arranged alternately offset to the side of the superstructure and anchored at the head with ropes. The weight of the superstructure hangs on two 12 cm thick suspension ropes that run over the pylons and are anchored back in the next pier head .

The superstructure of the suspension bridge with a 3.9 m wide carriageway has a 30 cm thick and 5.3 m wide reinforced concrete slab . This consists of 15 cm thick semi-finished parts that were delivered over the Elbe, pulled up and attached to the hangers, as well as a 15 cm thick layer of in-situ concrete.
