The two steel bridges in the Brentanopark are identical, each spanning 21,60 m. The superstructures consist of four adjacent 600 mm high rolled beams with a camber of 50 cm, which were delivered to the site in sections due to the limited space available. The beams were assembled on site and bending reinforcement was added one-third and two-thirds of the way along. The road surface consists of screwed-on steel plates with a thin cover.
In addition to its function as a pedestrian and cycle bridge, each bridge must also be suitable for use in emergencies by a fire services vehicle with a load of 12 t.
KREBS+KIEFER Darmstadt was responsible for checking the structural design and for construction supervision. The checking engineer was Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Günter Ernst.
