Opel Bridge/Main Bridge (1927/28) – Flörsheim 🚴‍

In earlier times, there was only a ferry connection from Flörsheim to Raunheim, so the old "Opel Bridge," inaugurated on August 26, 1928, created a road connection to the other side of the Main River, to Rüsselsheim. In 1945, the Wehrmacht blew the bridge in half to ward off the American invasion. The bridge was quickly repaired and served traffic until 1979 before being demolished. The current new and larger Main Bridge was then built a little further upstream with a four-lane roadway.
The current "Opel Bridge" over the Main River between Flörsheim and Rüsselsheim consists of two box-girder structures. The prestressed concrete bridge is designed for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists and is easily accessible for all groups. A convenient cycle and pedestrian path runs under the bridge span on both sides of the Main River.

Type: Concrete girder bridge
Total length: 401.40 m
Width: Unknown
Ship clearance: Unknown
Construction period: 1927–1928
Use: - Road bridge
- Single-sided public pedestrian and bicycle bridge

On the bridge, a nice wide road for cyclists. In the direction of Rüsselsheim, it is best to avoid the city center after the bridge, as the cycling infrastructure is poor and progress is therefore slow. Long live Opel!!
