Clevertor Bridge

Hanover

The design for the pedestrian and cycle bridge in Hanover spans the River Leine. The bridge superstructure was planned as a steel structure and consists of a walkway slab with edge caps on both sides, as well as a hull with a variable triangular cross-section that increases towards the two supports. The walkway slab is constructed as a multi-cell welded hollow box girder. The shape of the single-span girder is derived from the load: the maximum cross-section height is reached towards the supports. A slight curvature of the walkway level ensures optimum load-bearing behavior. On the underside, the transverse bulkheads and cantilevers are welded to a cover plate and longitudinal stiffeners.
