Entwurfs- und Ausführungsplanung der Vinckekanalbrücke in Duisburg

Preliminary und detailed design for the bridge construction crossing the Vincke-Canal in Duisburg.

The "Oberbürgermeister-Lehr" bridge construction in Duisburg connects the urban districts Ruhrort and Kaßlerfeld. With this bridge, the street Ruhrorter Straße crosses over several artificial waterways, a local access road and the river Ruhr. As one of the few Ruhr crossings, the connection holds a primary function for the city traffic of Duisburg, particularly for the industrial location around the harbor. In order to satisfy the increasing traffic load, the existing traffic areas of the bridge construction need to be expanded. The tram traffic will be separated with a dedicated track bed. Because of its structure and its state of repair, expansion and renewal of the existing bridge construction is not an option. Therefore all bridges will be rebuilt. The overall project of the renewal of the Oberbürgermeister-Lehr bridge construction is divided into two construction phases. The first construction phase was finalized in 2015. The second phase started with the planning in 2011. The report at hand illustrates the most significant aspects of the preliminary and detailed design of the new construction for the Vincke-Canal bridge in the first construction phase.
