Closing the gap: pedestrian and cycle path under the Metzgerbrücke.
26.08.2022 - We are pleased to announce a new planning contract!
In the area of the Metzgerbrücke, the Alster is canalised. The riverside path is interrupted by the bridge abutments. A footbridge in front of the eastern abutment is to close this gap.
The bank enclosure of the approx. 270 m long section was built in 1913 and is a listed building. The bank wall consists of a wooden sheet pile wall on a wooden pile trestle and is connected by an unreinforced concrete head.
The historic seawall has exceeded its technical service life and needs to be rehabilitated. This rehabilitation of the bank wall is being planned together with the construction of the jetty in a pilot project using the BIM method. The old and unique splendour of the Alster canals is to be preserved here.
