The Mengbrücke (also: Mengbachbrücke or lower Mengbachbrücke ) is a road bridge and a listed building in the market town of Nenzing , Vorarlberg , Austria .
history
During a flood in 1910, which caused severe damage in almost all of Vorarlberg, the old bridge over the Meng in Nenzing was also torn away. This bridge was rebuilt in 1913. At that time it was an important connection on the Arlberg-Reichsstraße, the later federal highway, from Feldkirch to the Arlberg.
In 2009, the underside of the bridge was renovated for 15,000 euros. In 2013, for the 100th anniversary of its existence, the Meng Bridge was renovated again due to frost damage. The renovation costs in the course of the second phase in 2013 finally amounted to 27,000 euros, a total of 42,000 euros.
location

The Mengbrücke is one of several that cross the Meng in the local area today and no longer has a main traffic function.

The bridge rests on two abutments and has a span of 15.50 meters between them. In order to keep the flow under the bridge as large as possible, the load was divided between two girders projecting upwards on both sides (total 2.18 meters, inside each up to the lane 1.36 meters high and 0.60 meters wide) also serve as a railing. At 5 meters, the carriageway is too narrow for today's vehicle traffic. The bridge was designed for a weight of around 30 tons , with a weight limit of 16 tons today.
To protect against a flood in 1913, the river bed was abgetieft just before the bridge and a ground sill built in the river bed.
