Eiffage said the new bridge’s metal components, which represent more than 16,000t of steel, are to be manufactured in Germany. It will be delivered via the Rhine.

Work on the bridge is scheduled to start next month with delivery planned for late 2027.

Eiffag and its consortium partners were also selected to build an initial 2×4-lane bridge in Leverkusen. The project is planned for delivery next year.
