Bascule Bridge Mainz

This summer, the inauguration of the bridge connecting the north and south piers in Mainz's customs harbor was celebrated with a bridge festival. For a long time, pedestrians and cyclists stood in front of the construction fences on their way to the Kaiserbrücke, looking puzzled. The bridge now provides access along the river promenade directly on the Rhine from the city center to the Kaiserbrücke, the railway bridge between Mainz and Wiesbaden.
The 60-meter-long pedestrian and cycle path bridge was built exactly on the site of the historic swing bridge. Both listed bridgeheads made of basalt lava were extensively renovated for the new construction. It consists of two fixed steel girders, each extending from the piers. In the center are two foldable steel elements that can be raised wirelessly.
Light lines from FLASHAAR ® extend across both sides of the bridge. They emphasize the dynamic lines of the modern structure, highlight the bridge, and ensure safety at night. The NauticProfil® system is used, enabling long lines of light with even illumination and making installation easy thanks to plug-and-play assembly. For the bascule bridge in the customs harbor, 68 luminaires, each 10 cm long, were installed using the Nova-4 LED line, which ensures long durability, low energy consumption, and optimal value for money. Linear 60° lenses ensure an optimal beam angle. The product is rounded off by the PU encapsulation, which protects the luminaires from dust and water jets.
