The bridge is still one of the most important bridge construction projects in Europe after the Second World War. Planning for this then unique project began in 1960. Construction began in 1963. In the middle of 1966 the bridge was completely stretched over the Ruhr valley.

Impressive structure. On this side of the Ruhr you can drive on the slope very close to the bridge pillars.
