Rheinsteg Neuhausen – Flurlingen
The Rhine bridge Neuhausen-Flurlingen is a bridge that in Switzerland the Rhine spans at Km 46.855 and the community Neuhausen am Rheinfall in Schaffhausen with the community Flurlingen in Canton Zurich combines. The bridge has a sidewalk and bike path on the sides. In the middle there is a single-lane, traffic-light-controlled lane that vehicles with a maximum weight of 4 tons may use.
The structure was erected in 1921 with a 2.5 meter wide carriageway and a 1.0 meter wide sidewalk. The canton of Zurich, which had a greater interest in the structure, bore 86.5 percent of the construction costs and assumed 75 percent of the maintenance costs. A repair was carried out in 1949, followed by a reconstruction of the footbridge for 322,000 francs in 1957. The steel construction was reinforced so that the lane could be widened to 3.0 meters and walkways 1.45 meters wide on both sides could be arranged on consoles . Another renovation in 1992, including a new corrosion protection, cost 630,000 francs.
The 99 meter long and 3.6 meter high bridge superstructure has two trapezoidal steel main girders and a concrete deck slab below . The trapezoidal girders have a triple strut framework with posts. The continuous beam with spans of 25.0, 49.4 and 24.6 meters is the building system in the longitudinal direction.
