The Osthafenbrücke (project name was Mainbrücke Ost ) is a road bridge over the Main in Frankfurt . It connects the Frankfurt Ostend north of the Main at the Osthafen with Gerbermühlstrasse ( Bundesstrasse 43 ) in Sachsenhausen and from there with the Bundesautobahn 661 .

history

The first plans for a road bridge between Franziusstrasse in Frankfurter Osthafen and Deutschherrnufer were made as early as 1907. These plans were not pursued after the completion of the Osthafen in 1912.

As part of the overall traffic plan for 2004 and the development of the wholesale market area into the future location of the European Central Bank (ECB) , the planning of a bridge over the Main was resumed. In the course of the development of the former industrial area on Hanauer Landstrasse and in the Osthafen, the planners expect around 17,000 vehicles per day for 2015. A map of the traffic areas, including the Osthafenbrücke in connection with the continuing Honsellbrücke , is part of the municipal submission from September 2006. The bridge has a three-lane road connection (two to the south, one to the north) and two combined footpaths and cycle paths.

For the design of the planned bridge and the Honsell ramp, an interdisciplinary implementation competition between civil engineers and architects took place. In December 2006, among 19 participants, the jury awarded a prize to a proposal by the architect Ferdinand Heide and the engineering office BGS (from 2007 Grontmij BGS Ingenieurgesellschaft, since 2016 Sweco ), a steel tied arch bridge with simply crossed hangers, a so-called Nielsen bridge , without piers with a span of 175 meters and an arch stitch of around 25 meters. The total costs for the Main Bridge East were estimated in the associated construction and financing proposal at just under 42 million euros gross. According to the planning of the city of Frankfurt, the bridge should go into operation in November 2013.

The construction work was awarded in May 2011. The total amount awarded for the bridge and road connection is just under 22 million euros gross. In addition, there were costs for planning and experts. From August 20 to 23, 2012, the 2200 ton steel structure was rotated 90 degrees in its assembly area and pushed onto two pontoons floating in the Main . This was followed by swimming into the final position. The bridge, together with the Honsell Bridge , was opened to traffic on December 10, 2013 by the Lord Mayors Peter Feldmann and Horst Schneider , as well as the Head of Transport, Stefan Majer.

The project was controversial during the planning and construction phase: The black-green magistrate , the city council, the local advisory board 4 (Bornheim, Ostend) and the residents of the Osthafen supported the bridge, among other things for urban planning reasons and to relieve the traffic on the Hanauer Landstrasse. In the local advisory council 5 (Sachsenhausen, Niederrad, Oberrad), however, the skepticism prevailed because there was fear of increased traffic in the south of Frankfurt.
