The Inselbrücke Potsdam is a foot and bike path bridge over the Alte Fahrt der Havel in Potsdam .
history
The foot and bike path bridge connects the northern part of the Friendship Island over the Alte Fahrt der Havel with Burgstrasse in an older part of Potsdam. A first pedestrian bridge was built exactly at this point in 1965. At the end of the 1990s, it showed considerable damage and its load-bearing capacity could no longer be guaranteed. With the award of the Federal Horticultural Show to Potsdam in 2001 and the resulting redesign of the Island of Friendship and the relocation of the access for commercial vehicles, it was necessary to ensure that the bridge could be driven over with smaller construction and supply vehicles. A new building was necessary. The new bridge was created as a combined arch and beam structure in a steel composite manner. The reinforced concrete slab resting on the articulated arch in the middle part was designed as a composite construction. It is led up to the abutment area on steel girders that are clamped in the upper abutment. The design of the abutments was adapted to the existing sloping slopes. The formation of the cornices in connection with the railing of the bridge and the cross members try to emphasize the lightness of the bridge despite the possibility of navigability. The underside of the steel composite panel was given a stainless steel trapezoidal profile sheet, which also served as formwork. The total length of the bridge is 45.76 meters. The clear width between the railings is 4.60 meters. The width of the carriageway between the granite curbs is 3.50 meters. The movable bridge arch has a span of 34 meters, a longitudinal gradient of 6 percent and a transverse gradient of 3 percent. The inauguration of the new bridge took place on December 7, 2000.
