The road bridge over the Rhine between Gambsheim and Rheinau was built in the early 1970s, without taking environmentally friendly modes of transport into consideration. Today, intense car and heavy goods vehicle traffic over the bridge means it is at maximum capacity. Thanks to this project, a crossing will be constructed exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists. It will be incorporated into the network of cycle paths, creating a link between the two banks of the Rhine that can be used in total safety.
