The Sindlinger Mainbrücke (also Mainbrücke Sindlingen-Kelsterbach ) is a road bridge over the Main on the city limits between the Frankfurt district of Sindlingen and the city of Kelsterbach at Mainkilometer 21,460. It is the westernmost Main Bridge in Frankfurt. At 88 meters above sea ​​level , this is also the lowest point in Frankfurt's urban area.

Over the bridge, the B 40 leads as a motor vehicle from the Krifteler Dreieck ( A 66 ) to the Schwanheimer junction (Kelsterbacher junction) and on over the Schwanheimer bridge to the Mainzer Landstrasse . A section of the B 40 leads south from the Schwanheimer junction to the B 43 and thus connects the Sindling Main Bridge to the A 3 and the airport via the Kelsterbacher Querspange . The bridge is thus part of an important cross-road connection in western Frankfurt. It also serves to connect the Höchst industrial park for truck traffic to and from the north.

The Main Bridge in Sindling was built as part of the Höchsts southern bypass . Since the construction work on the southern bypass was not completed until 1979, the bridge could only be opened to traffic one year after its completion. The federal government and the state of Hesse are responsible for the maintenance of the bridge , as it is not an internal traffic connection.

On both sides of the bridge there is a cycle and footpath which , as part of the R3 long- distance cycle route, connects the Sindling and Kelsterbach Mainaue.

The two adjacent superstructures of the prestressed concrete bridge have the continuous beam as a structural system in the longitudinal direction . The construction height is haunched and is 5.85 m above the pillars and 4.00 m in the middle of the bridge. In the transverse direction, the superstructures are designed as single-cell box girder cross-sections. The spans for the three-span bridge are 86.0 m, 150.0 m and 86.0 m. The structure was constructed using a cantilever.
