The new bridge should replace the existing Hervester Bridge No. 423, which was classified as dilapidated. After assembly on the bank, it was pushed over the Wesel-Datteln Canal step by step. A pontoon boat was used here to move the structure to the other bank.

The company grbv Ingenieure im Bauwesen GmbH & Co. KG from Hanover, a customer of Dlubal Software, was in charge of the planning and structural design in the draft stage. For the structural calculations, grbv used the structural frame analysis software RSTAB. The elaboration of the tender documents represented the end of the planning task.
