A consortium led by Eiffage, working through its German subsidiaries Eiffage Infra-Bau and SEH, has obtained a €110m ($127m) contract from the city of Nuremberg to replace two adjacent bridge structures and associated access roads.
The consortium includes Mostostal Kraków. Eiffage’s share of the contract is €95m.
The project will replace existing dual-carriageway bridges that currently fall short of sustainability, road safety and traffic-flow requirements.
It also includes pedestrian and cycle lanes as part of a broader initiative to upgrade infrastructure throughout Germany.
The first bridge in the project will span the Main–Danube Canal and, according to Eiffage, pose notable technical challenges.
The design calls for a prefabricated and pre-assembled metal monobloc superstructure, which will be transported by waterway to its setting.
The completed structure will be 105m in length and include elliptical arches. The second bridge will cross the A73 motorway, measuring 62m long.
Construction is planned to take place alongside the existing structure to ensure uninterrupted traffic. Like the first bridge, it will have elliptical arches and a metal construction, but assembly will occur on site.
Completion of the works is scheduled for late 2030.
The company stated that the new contract further strengthens Eiffage’s position in Germany, where it is involved in ongoing infrastructure modernisation efforts.
Eiffage employs 9,700 people in Germany across its various business lines and reported €2.8bn in revenue in 2025 from its operations in the country.
Earlier this month, Campus AI selected Eiffage as general contractor for the high-voltage electrical substation and shared infrastructure at its Fouju Campus in France, in a contract exceeding €120m ($139.6m). The agreement signals the start of the project's operational phase.
A consortium headed by Eiffage Énergie Systèmes will deliver the works, covering the design, engineering, supply, construction and commissioning of a 400kV/33kV electrical substation with a planned final output of 1.4GW.
