About the project

The A40 motorway connects the Ruhr area with the Lower Rhine region and the Netherlands and is, therefore, of great importance to the region's inhabitants and the local economy. The A40 motorway crosses the Rhine between the districts of Duisburg-Neuenkamp and Duisburg-Homberg. Built in 1970, the Duisburg-Neuenkamp Rhine Bridge is now reaching the limits of its durability. The bridge was originally designed for 30,000 vehicles, but more than 100,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day. The widening of the A40 motorway and the construction of a more efficient bridge to replace the old bridge are absolutely necessary to keep traffic flowing safely for decades to come.

On behalf of the Federal Government and Autobahn GmbH des Bundes DEGES, a new eight-lane bridge on the Rhine Duisburg-Neuenkamp is being planned and implemented to replace the old bridge. In addition, the A40 motorway between the Duisburg-Homberg and Duisburg-Hafen junctions will be widened to eight lanes. The new bridge over the Rhine will be higher, longer, and wider than the previous one: 75 meters  high, 802 meters  long, and 68.25 meters  wide. In both directions, there will be new pedestrian and cycle paths along the road. They will be built at a distance from the motorway and screened from motorway traffic by a 6.5- -meter -  high noise barrier. The new bridge over the Rhine will consist of two parts so that one bridge will be built for each direction of travel.

The subject of the project was the Assembly/workshop documentation of the Rheinbrücke Bridge in Duisburg. As part of Tekla Structures, we worked on four bridge deck segments, two PQT segments (pylon segment), and two EQT segments (end segment) on the Rheinbrücke-Duisburg Bridge-South.
