Design and assembly of a new extradosed bridge in Nuremberg

Abstract A ramp structure with a length of 588 m was planned in the area of the Nuremberg East interchange between the A9 and A6 highways. The bridge structure is an extradosed bridge, which represents an unusual technical and design solution for a ramp structure in Germany for reasons of maintaining traffic. The structure is preassembled in incremental sections, fitted with the cables and incrementally lengthwise inserted. In addition to the design and assembly, the article also reports on structural design aspects.
