The Kagerser Brücke connects the districts of Straubing to the south and north of the Danube between the districts of Kagers and Sossau .

With the bridge in the course of the western bypass from Straubing, the SRs 48 district road at the Straubing barrage crosses three bodies of water in immediate succession: the Old Danube at the lower head of the Straubing lock , the Danube at river kilometer 2321.83 S and the Laber arrester . The Kagerser Bridge was opened to traffic on August 7, 1992.

construction

The total length of the structure is 542.5 meters with a bridge width of 15.75 meters. The width of the lane is 8.5 meters, the eastern footpath and bike path are 5 meters and the western service walkway is 1.75 meters.

Weir and power station bridge

The weir and power station bridge is a massive prestressed concrete T- beam bridge with a total span of 202.5 meters.

Weir and power station bridge

Its nine bridge fields in three different lengths are derived from the structure of the barrage.
In front of the power house there are three fields about 20 meters long. Here the superstructure lies on the southern abutment, the southernmost weir pillar and two pillars arranged in between in the inlet area of ​​the power plant, each of which consists of three cylindrical columns with a beam on top. In the middle there are five approximately 27 meter long bridge fields in front of the respective weir fields. They rest on the six weir piers, which, when extended upstream, also serve as bridge piers. To the north is the smallest field, which only bridges the boat lane and a farm road and rests on the northern abutment and the northernmost weir pillar. The upper edge of all pillars is at the level of 322.82  m above sea level. NN . The superstructure made of the T-beam with six webs has a construction width of 15.75 meters and a construction height of 1.76 meters.
The bridge was built between November 1989 and July 1992 with construction costs of around 3.8 million DM .

Between the weir and power station bridge and the lock bridge , the SRs 48 district road runs on an approximately 60-meter-long earth dam on which the access to the lock branches off to the west.

Lock bridge

The bridge at the bottom of the lock is a 71.1 meter long massive prestressed concrete T- beam bridge with three spans.

Bridge at the bottom of the lock

The middle field is just below the lower head of the lock and is about 29 meters long. The two pillars are based on the extension of the outer walls of the lock basin to the east. The lock basin with a clear width of 24 meters has a 32 meter wide foundation plate. The outer bridge fields, each around 21 meters long, lead under farm roads. .
The superstructure made of the T-beam with four webs has a construction width of 15.75 meters and a construction height of 1.34 meters.
The bridge was built between June 1984 and November 1984 with construction costs of around 3.3 million DM .

Laber Bridge

The bridge over the Laber arrester is a 77 meter long massive prestressed concrete T-beam bridge with four fields and is located south of the weir and power station bridge .
It spans the Laber arrester with three fields, starting at the northern abutment via two concrete piers with an oval cross-section in the bed of the river and with the southern field between the abutment and the pillar on the embankment of the Laber arrester, it also bridges the SRs 10 district road . The superstructure made of the T-beam with six webs has a construction width of 15.75 meters and a construction height of 1.26 meters.
The bridge was built between September 1985 and September 1986 with construction costs of around 1.3 million DM .

Between the Laber bridge and the weir and power station bridge , the SRs 48 district road runs about 140 meters on an earth embankment, on which the access to the power station branches off to the east and the access to the substation to the west.

history

With the barrage in the Danube near Straubing, the road bridges over the river were also rebuilt. This made it possible to bypass Straubing in the west, the so-called west bypass . It was named after the nearby Straubing district of Kagers .
