Characteristics
The bridge contains 3 traffic lanes of 3.5 m each for vehicle crossing, 2 lanes for trams of 3.5 m each, and 2 lanes of 2 m each for pedestrians between the main outer railing of the bridge and the protective railing on the bridge. The end cornices are 2 × 0.25 = 0.5 m, the middle 2 × 0.35 = 0.7 m, the protective strip 4 × 0.65 m = 2.6 m and the buffers 2 × 0.5 = 1 m, a total of 36.8 m on the southern (unexpanded) side of the bridge. The static system of the structure is a continuous girder on freely rotating bearings of a constant height of 2.4 m. The ratio of height to span of the structure is 1:26.[1]
