Wiesental Bridge

The Wiesental bridge is 1,211 meters, the third-longest road bridge in Baden-Württemberg and one of the longest road bridges in Germany . It crosses as a section of the A 98 from the Lucke over the Wiese River and the Grütt Landscape Park to the Homburg Forest on the municipal area of ​​the city of Lörrach . The four-lane motorway route is curved in the course of the structure and rises to the south towards the slope.

history

In December 1979 the construction of the Wiesental Bridge began, which lasted until July 1982. The motorway bridge was opened to public traffic on April 12, 1983. The opening was attended by the then Federal Transport Minister Werner Dollinger and the State Minister for Economic Affairs, Rudolf Eberle .

In 2008 it was renovated for 1 million euros. In 2010, the city of Lörrach officially released the area of ​​the bridge piers for legal graffiti , known as the Bridge-Gallery . The top of the bridge was extensively renovated in mid-2012.

Architecture and construction

With a height of up to 32 meters, the Wiesentalbrücke forms a viaduct over the Wiesental . It consists of two prestressed concrete superstructures and 59 bridge fields, each with a box-girder cross-section and is based on 57 pillars. The maximum longitudinal gradient is 4%. The formwork is designed as a feed armor. The equipment carriers required for the construction were moved over a hydraulic bearing.
