The railroad bridge over the Neckar River is required in the course of the new construction of Stuttgart’s main station to connect the city and long-distance railroad to the northbound and eastbound lines. It is designed as a composite steel structure with a longitudinal framework consisting of three steel longitudinal beams, each arranged on the outer sides and in the middle of the superstructure – in combination with the steel cables supporting the longitudinal beams. The reinforced concrete deck acts in composite with the regularly arranged cross girders.
