An Imposing Construction

The 2^nd Strelasund crossing, with its length in excess of four kilometres, is currently the largest and longest bridge building project in Germany and is in every respect an engineering challenge for all construction companies involved. Whereas in the past, cost-efficient concrete was used for bridge building, today’s architects are relying ever more upon steel. It is intended to become a landmark for the region, while blending in with the cityscape of the old Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Since August of last year, the construction of the 85 million Euro bridge is proceeding with vigour. The 4,097 metre long Strelasund bridge is sub-divided into around 2,800 metre long bridge structures and around 1.3 kilometres of causeway and road sections.
