1954: Rodenkirchen

Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Rhine River
Bridgemeister ID:458 (added before 2003)
Year Completed:1954
Name:Rodenkirchen
Also Known As:Rodenkirchener, Köln-Rodenkirchen
Location:Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Crossing:Rhine River
Coordinates:50.90135 N 6.99335 E
Maps:Acme, GeoHack, Google, OpenStreetMap
Principals:Fritz Leonhardt
References:AOB
Use:Vehicular (major highway), with walkway
Status:In use (last checked: 2021)
Main Cables:Wire (steel)
Suspended Spans:3
Main Span:1 x 378 meters (1,240.2 feet)
Side Spans:2
Deck width:52.8 meters (after retrofit)

Notes:

  • Substantial retrofit completed 1994, doubled the width of the bridge and towers and added extra cable. The bridge's 52.8 meter width makes this the widest catenary suspension bridge in the world (the Boston's Zakim-Bunker Hill cable-stayed bridge is wider) with ten vehicular lanes (eight lanes for highway and two service lanes) and two lanes for pedestrians and bicycles. It may also be the only large suspension bridge with three main cables. The unusual proportion of deck width to main span (52.8 meters/378 meters) is also interesting.
  • Replaced 1941 Rodenkirchen (Rodenkirchener, Köln-Rodenkirchen) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
