This paper reports on the design and construction of the new Rhine River bridge "Niederrheinbrücke" being built near the cities of Wesel and Büderich, Germany. The paper outlines the design and ...bidding process as well as the on-site construction of the new bridge, which will be the longest cable-stayed bridge in Germany. The new Rhine River crossing is only the second cable-stayed bridge in Germany to use parallel strands rather than steel wire ropes (locked coil ropes) and contributes to a new generation of cable-stayed bridges in Germany.
This paper reports on the design and construction of the new bridge over the River Rhine being built near the cities of Wesel and Büderich, Germany, the “Niederrheinbrücke”.

The new Rhine crossing is only the second cable‐stayed bridge in Germany to use parallel strands (Suspa DSI) rather than steel wire ropes (locked coil ropes) and contributes to a new generation of cable‐stayed bridges in Germany.
Die neue Rheinbrücke Wesel im Zuge der B 58n befindet sich zur Zeit in Bau. Das insgesamt 773 m lange Bauwerk wird als einhüftige Schrägseilbrücke mit einer Hauptöffnung von 335 m ausgeführt. Mit ...seinem 130 m hohen Pylon wird das Bauwerk die flache Rheinlandschaft nachhaltig prägen. Die Brückenkonstruktion unterteilt sich in den 409 m langen Stahlüberbau der Strombrücke und die 364 m lange Spannbetonbrücke über das linksrheinische Vorland. Beide Abschnitte sind biegesteif miteinander gekoppelt. Der Aufsatz beschreibt die statischen, konstruktiven und gestalterischen Besonderheiten des Bauwerks aus der Sicht der Entwurfsverfasser und geht auf die Ausschreibung und Vergabe dieses herausragenden Bauvorhabens ein.
The new Rhine Bridge Wesel in the course of the B 58n is being under construction.
The bridge has a total length of 773 m and will be executed as a cable‐stayed bridge with a main span of 335 m. With its 130 m tall pylon the construction will strongly mark the flat Rhine‐landscape in that place. The bridge construction is divided into a 409 m long steel structure across the river and a 364 m long prestressed concrete structure across the flood area on the left side of the Rhine. Both structures are rigid linked near the pylon. The paper describes the static, constructive and architectural specifics of the design and gives an insight in the process of tendering and awarding.
