The motorway bridge was built as a suspension bridge over the Rhine. Only four years after it was put into operation, on January 14, 1945, the bridge was destroyed by an air raid. It was rebuilt from 1952 to 1954. More information: stadt-koeln.de/leben-in-koeln/verkehr/bruecken/autobahnbruecke-rodenkirchen

I personally would not call the bridge a highlight. But from the bridge (north side) you have a wonderful view of Cologne with the south bridge, the cathedral and the crane houses.
