56
metres of bridge length
With a bridge solution that combines economy, functionality, and design.
Features a consistent modular design
- To improve flood protection, a new bridge with a larger clear span over the River Salzach was needed on the road connecting Zell am See and Kaprun
- The new flyover is a trough structure in composite construction. VFT/rolled steel girders in concrete slabs and an in-situ concrete supplement form the track supporting layer
- π slabs with external hot-dip galvanised reinforcement are used as prefabricated parts

2022 German Steel Construction Engineering Prize, winner in the bridge construction category
The combination of economy and aesthetics is worthy of an award: SSF Ingenieure AG was awarded the German Steel Construction Engineering Prize in the bridge construction category for the segmental trough bridge at the 40th Steel Construction Day in Berlin. The innovative bridge impressed the jury with its quick assembly using the modular construction method and its outstanding design.
