The bridge is being built on behalf of the Karlsruhe Regional Council and will carry the newly routed B32 federal highway across the Neckar Valley. PORR is constructing the 667-metre-long structure as a six-span continuous girder bridge. A particularly striking feature is that three of the five piers are designed as pylons with a V-shaped widening above the carriageway. The adjacent spans are each braced with stay cables – a structural highlight that gives the bridge its characteristic appearance.

Working at great heights poses particular challenges for the construction team. While the superstructure is being built at a height of around 70 metres, the pylons are being erected at a height of 90 metres.
More than half of the superstructure will be completed by the beginning of next year. At the same time, work on the southern section of the bridge is in full swing. The aim is to start installing the first suspension cables at the beginning of next year – a significant step for the overall statics of the structure.
