The Leap over the Emscher
The pedestrian and cycle bridge "Leap over the Emscher" is an architectural highlight with a unique appearance in Emscher region, Castrop-Rauxel. MCE GmbH was able to demonstrate its expertise in precision and accuracy in production and installation for this project, in order to meet the design and technical challenges.

Rhine Bridge Hard-Fussach
The construction of the new Rhine bridge Hard-Fussach in Vorarlberg will significantly increase traffic and flood safety in the area. This bridge sets new standards for both high-frequency cycling traffic and architectural integration into the Lake Constance region.
Bridge construction
U81 light rail bridge „Nordstern“
The new light rail bridge over the „Nordstern“ motorway junction in Düsseldorf is part of the first construction phase of the new line U81 and connects Düsseldorf Airport to the light rail network to improve local public transportation. During the spectacular assembly process, the steel bridge superstructure was launched piece by piece into the position by the MCE assembly team and then connected to the abutments.
Bridge construction
New Danube Bridge Linz
The new Danube bridge in Linz is a highlight in the company's history. Above all, the "floating-in" of the 100 meter long prefabricated bridge parts required an enormous amount of expertise. The steel structure with S-Bahn tracks and lanes for individual traffic as well as bicycle and pedestrian paths is a milestone for the future infrastructure of the Upper Austrian state capital.
Bridge construction
Pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Raunheim oil harbour
The s-shaped pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the oil harbour in Raunheim closes one of the last gaps in the network of cycle paths to the left of the river Main between Frankfurt and Mainz. The l-shaped geometry of the bridge does justice both to the safety requirements of the Frankfurt Airport large tank storage depot and to the visual connection from the superstructure over the Main into the surrounding nature
Bridge construction
Ostbahn Flughafenschnellbahn connection
The roughly 2.1 kilometre-long connecting loop between the Ostbahn and Flughafenschnellbahn railways connects Vienna’s airport directly to its central station. The 585-metre-long chain of bridges in the central marshalling yard section consists of two bridges. With this connection between the Ostbahn and Flughafenschnellbahn railways, MCE built the first network arch bridges in the ÖBB’s rail network.
Bridge construction
Neckar Bridge Zwingenberg
The new construction of the Neckar Bridge is a major contribution to the improvement of the infrastructure within the municipal district, but the neighbouring districts and the entire administrative district also profit from the creation of a connection that can withstand any weather conditions as part of the Neckar network of cycling paths. The bridge replaces the previously used ferry and gives cyclists an easy connection to continue their journey on the southern Neckar Valley Cycle Path.
Bridge construction
BAB A30 motorway bridges Bad Oeynhausen
Relief for one of Europe’s most congested regions. As part of the closing of the BAB A30 gap around Bad Oeynhausen, striking bridges were erected at the eastern and western ends for crossing the river Werre. Despite the varying topographical conditions, both bridges exhibit an uniform design concept and integrate harmoniously into the surrounding landscape.
Bridge construction
Viaduct M8 motorway bridge
Viaduct M8 near Szentgotthárd represents an important connecting section for Hungarian-Austrian border traffic. As a new transit hub, it enables fast and undisrupted transit for travellers and the transport of goods between Graz and the south-west of Hungary. The structure, weighing in at 1,050 tonnes, was implemented by MCE from 2018 to 2020.
Bridge construction
Lochkov motorway bridge
To advance and alleviate private transport in Prague, MCE conceptualized and produced the “Lochkovský most” bridge for the motorway bypass of the Czech capital. The 64-metre-high structure is the highest bridge in Prague. Above the steel components is a bridge deck made of reinforced concrete, which is borne by transverse tubular stays with a diameter of 406 millimetres.
Bridge construction
Rethe Bridge
With a span of 104.20 meters, the Rethe Bridge is Europe’s largest bascule bridge. It increases the passage width for shipping traffic from 20 to 64 meters. The road and port railway traffic are allocated to separate superstructures. Based on its innovative design, the Rethe Bridge was distinguished with the 2020 German Bridge Construction Prize.
Bridge construction
Renovation of the Nesserlander Lock
The bascule bridge in the harbour area of Emden crosses over the road “An der Nesserlander Schleuse” above the shipping passage between the outer and inner harbours. After 100 years of operation, the bridge, which was originally inaugurated in 1888, underwent a total renovation and redesign. The new bridge opens and closes within 90 seconds.
Bridge construction
Reconstruction of the Kochchikade Bridge
The new construction of the Kochchikade Bridge using a composite steel deck replaces the old double-lane bridge across the Maha Oya River, which was erected in 1936. The new construction of the bridge, for which MCE took charge of everything from the project development to the turnkey handover, improves the transport infrastructure in the region with lasting effect, given that the route to the north is one of the most important along the east coast of Sri Lanka.
