Charles de Gaulle Bridge

The pedestrian bridge over Charles-de-Gaulle-Straße connects the Deutsche Post high-rise building in Bonn with the nearby Rhine meadows. The bridge, designed by Werner Sobek, is approx. 35 m long and approx. 13 m wide. It is a composite construction with haunched steel girders. Connecting solid concrete slabs form the transition to the abutment and the roofing structure of the access gallery.

The bridge has a minimum slab thickness of 120 mm in the field area. Its jointless construction was achieved by a horizontally elastic mounting of the abutment on piles. The railing consists of a glass railing with partly curved glass panes.
