Cycling Path Under the Schiersteiner Bridge

Currently (June 2025) blocked on the Mainz side by concrete blocks!

Update August 15, 2025: Unfortunately, eight months after its planned opening, the footbridge remains closed on the Mainz side due to a defective sheet metal. Response to an email inquiry from Autobahn GmbH: "The towing plate to be replaced (a custom-made product weighing several hundred kilograms) has been ordered. However, there are delivery delays, which means that no statement on the installation date can be made at this time. Due to the aforementioned delivery delays and the vandalism damage that also needs to be repaired, the opening date of the cycle path and sidewalk cannot currently be determined with any certainty. Numerous deliberate damages at the construction site repeatedly lead to delays."

Today I took a spectacular ride on the new cycle path under the Schiersteiner Bridge - a real highlight! The path, which opened in December 2024, connects Wiesbaden and Mainz. With its 1.8 kilometers in length, it not only offers a practical connection, but also breathtaking views of the Rhine. The viewpoints along the route are particularly incredible - that's where I took the selfie.
