Bascule Bridge Mainz

In the summer, the inauguration of the bridge, which connects the north and south mole in the Mainz customs port, was celebrated with a bridge festival.
For a long time, pedestrians and cyclists stood on the way to the Kaiserbrücke, asking questions in front of the site fences. The bridge now makes it possible to get to the bank 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 building. It consists of two solid steel girders, each extending from the moles. In the middle are the two foldable steel elements that can be folded up by radio. Lines of light from FLASHAAR® stretch across the bridge on both sides. They underline the dynamic lines of the modern building, set the scene for the bridge and ensure safety at night. The NauticProfil® system is used, which enables long lines of light with uniform illumination and is easy to install thanks to the plug & play assembly. For the bascule bridge in the customs port, 68 lights, each 10 cm long, were installed with the Nova-4 LED line, which speaks for long service life, low energy consumption and an optimal price-performance ratio. Linear 60° lenses ensure an optimal beam angle. The product is rounded off by the PU encapsulation, which protects the lights from dust and water jets.
