Summary The bridge spans the river Rhine and connects the state capitals of Mainz andSpace Wiesbaden, for a portrait Germany. The existing bridge was at its turning point from a static to a production32-oriented x 48 mm engineering structure. The paper gives an insight into the deficits and damage of the existing bridge and explains the consequential requirement for a new design. Keywords: major projects, bridge, steel, composite, aesthetics, sustainability, environmental protection 1. The existing Schierstein Rhine Bridge When the planning for the existing Wiesbaden-Schierstein Rhine bridge began in 1955, the volume of traffic crossing the Rhine was estimated at 7,100 cars/day and max. 23,000 cars/24 hours. Today, more than 80,000 vehicles use the structure, of which 8% are trucks. The volume of traffic will continue to rise to around 97,000 cars/24 hours with an over-proportionally growing share of heavy duty vehicles.

FOREWORD Dear Cyclists, Discovering Europe on a bicycle – the Rhine Cycle Route makes it possible. It runs from the Alps to a North Sea beach and on its way links Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. This guide will point the way. Within the framework of the EU-funded “Demarrage” project, the Rhine Cycle Route has been trans- formed into a top tourism product. For the first time, the whole course has been signposted from the source to the mouth. Simply follow the EuroVelo15 symbol. The Rhine Cycle Route is also the first long distance cycle path to be certified in accordance with a new European standard. Testers belonging to the German ADFC cyclists organisation and the European Cyclists Federation have examined the whole course and evaluated it in accordance with a variety of criteria. This guide is another result of the European cooperation along the Rhine Cycle Route. We have broken up the 1233-kilometre course up into 13 sections and put together cycle-friendly accom- modation, bike stations, tourist information and sightseeing attractions – the basic package for an unforgettable cycle touring holiday.
