Today the bridge is “swum in” | Nachrichten.at

Today the first of two arches of the New Linz Danube Bridge begins its way towards the center of the river. Already yesterday the preparations on the Urfahran bank of the Danube were in full swing.

Millimeter by millimeter, the 2800-ton arch bridge moved towards the water. Heavy-duty transporters, so-called “millipedes”, transported him onto floating platforms. Today they will carry the arch with the help of winches and two push boats in front of one of the pillars that are already in the Danube; On Wednesday, the 120-meter-long component will then be lifted onto the pillar. The same will happen with the second sheet on March 3rd and 4th. For the duration of the work, the Danube is closed to traffic for two days at a time. The bridge is to be opened to traffic in autumn.
