Chronology
| 1969 | Due to severe deterioration of the piers on the arch supporting the original deck, the vertical supports and the deck are removed and replaced by a prestressed concrete deck. Since then the bridge has an overall appearance more like the later three-hinged arch bridges of Robert Maillart. |
|---|---|
| 2022 | The bridge is strengthened with a layer of UHPC. The abutment walls are monolithically connected with the bridge deck. Therefore, concrete hinges needed to be introduced in the abutment walls by horizontal cuttings. The project was a BIM-to-Field pilot project carried out by Equi Bridges Ltd. |
