The Rudolf von Habsburg Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Rhine near Germersheim . It lies in the course of the federal highway 35 , which connects Germersheim and Bruchsal .
The total length of the 605 m long bridge has a haunched steel girder bridge in the river area and pre-stressed concrete foreshore bridges on both sides . The gradient is between 1.0% and 1.4%. The structure has four lanes and a walkway on both sides. It was built between 1968 and 1971. On October 18, 2008, the building was named after King Rudolf von Habsburg , who granted Germersheim city rights in 1276.
construction
In the foreland on the right bank of the Rhine, the overpass consists of a five-span prestressed concrete bridge with a length of 229 m. This is followed by a three-span steel bridge with a length of 287 m and an 89 m long, two-span prestressed concrete bridge on the left bank of the Rhine. The massive bridges have a two-web T-beam cross- section and uniform spans of 45.8 m on the right bank of the Rhine and 44.5 m on the left bank.
The river bridge is a steel girder bridge with spans of 61 m in the two peripheral fields and 165 m in the main field. The construction height is 5.35 m above the main pillars, 5.0 m in the middle of the river and 4.1 m at the ends of the steel structure. In the transverse direction, the superstructure consists of a plate beam construction with two full-walled main girders and an orthotropic deck . The main girders are 14.34 m apart and have a lower chord width of 1.2 m. The 0.8 m high cross beams, arranged perpendicular to this, protrude 4.48 m on both sides and are spaced 1.81 m apart in the area of the central supports and 2.24 m in the edge areas. In the current area, a clearance height of 9.1 m is maintained at the highest navigable water level.
At the ends, the main girders of the steel bridge are connected to the webs of the concrete bridges by horizontal pivot pins.
The river pillar was founded 7 m below the river bed with a steel caisson , the bank piers have well foundations.
The steel bridge was erected in cantilever construction.
