Pedestrian and bicycle bridge Offenbachstrasse Nord
The new bridge is an effective addition to Pasing’s sustainable transportation network and strengthens Munich’s mobility transition
With the new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Offenbachstrasse Nord in the Munich district of Pasing, an important gap in the bicycle network has been closed. The design of the new bridge was determined not only by the route, but also by the perspective situation on site. To the south, the existing railroad facilities and the Offenbachstraße underpass form a strong visual boundary. Due to these constraints, an asymmetrical design of the bridge structure was chosen. The superstructure has an L-shaped cross-section.
The single-span, integral structure consists of a hybrid bridge deck, two flat-foundation solid abutments, and a steel superstructure. At the ends of the steel superstructure, a steel finger structure with numerous connections provides a positive connection between the reinforced concrete abutments and the steel superstructure. The span between the end abutments is 25.0 m, and the total length of the superstructure is 29.5 m. The integral construction method is accompanied by low maintenance costs. Both in terms of its design and its service life, the structure represents an architecturally high quality, yet robust, economical and therefore sustainable solution.
Throughout the construction period, traffic disruptions were kept to a minimum. Because the steel superstructure was prefabricated in the factory, Offenbachstrasse only had to be closed for two days for the excavation work.
