Construction and history

The Taubertal Bridge was built between April 1968 and June 1973. The cost was 12 million marks. Construction work on the nearby Rötenstein Bridge began almost at the same time .
During the construction phase in the 1970s , the additional ceiling construction station Distelhausen was set up to the north of the Distelhausen station for a period of around two years .
The 661 m long Taubertal Bridge has two lanes and one hard shoulder in each direction; In the area in front of the Tauberbischofsheim junction , it has been extended to around 38 m by the deceleration and acceleration lanes on the bridge. It crosses the Tauber at a height of 32 m.
The prestressed concrete - girder bridge has m eleven Fields with Pfeilerachsabständen 60 seconds. It has separate superstructures for each direction of travel, each with a rectangular hollow box girder and a row of hexagonal pillars .
After the Wildbichler Bridge over the Inn near Kufstein, the Taubertal Bridge was the first bridge in Germany to be built using the incremental launching method - with auxiliary piers and still slack reinforced when it was moved.
It was repaired and strengthened between 2010 and 2013. According to experts, a new building will probably be necessary in the 2020s to 2030s despite expensive maintenance.
