Since 2013, a new S‑shaped pylon bridge has meandered across the Agger River near Lohmar, a town in West Germany. Due to its curving shape, the bridge, which reflects the course of the river, is perfectly integrated into the landscape.
However, the main reason for this routing is the hydraulic engineering and design. The longitudinal slope of the bridge girder is 6%, thus wheelchair users are able to cross the bridge without difficulty. Despite the slight slope, the bridge, including freeboard, lies high above the highwater level.
