In order to cope with the steadily increasing traffic volume at the end of the 19th century, the first fixed Ruhr crossing was built between 1902 and 1904. Named after the former ferry Aakerfährbrücke, this was planned by the bridge construction company Harkort (Duisburg) and decorated by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring. Since March 24, 1907, the tram route from Burgplatz to Meidericher Südbahnhof also crosses the Aaker ferry bridge.

The traffic on the neighboring bridge (A3) is usually backed up, so you can be happy to be able to drive here.
