The bridge structure with a total length of 441 m was designed as a semi-integral structure, in which the superstructure is fixed into the two abutments and rests freely on the five intermediate pillars. In the bridge axis, a massive, centrally located truss girder provides the necessary sustainability; the roadways for the two tracks are arranged on both sides of the main girder. MCE developed a construction concept with a 40-meter-long launching nose, which allowed the bridge to span up to 81 meters without the originally planned auxiliary supports. In 2024, the first light rail train will roll over the bridge, offering passengers spectacular views of Düsseldorf Airport and the highways far below.
