On February 20th the time had come: the largest segments of the new foot and cycle path bridge over Heilbronn main station were lifted into place. The two side parts were previously pre-assembled outside the railway premises. The segments, each weighing 28 t, were then lifted into place within five hours using a mobile crane. The base points are clamped into the abutment bases with prepared anchor rods. The bridge deck and suspension will be installed later, as well as the paint coating will be applied.

The first bridge pillar for the pedestrian and cycle path bridge over Heilbronn main station has been completed. The forked reinforced concrete bridge pier is located between the tracks in the area of the former platform 2. The next pier is already being formed in the background. The bridge with a total length of 183 m will span the railway site on a total of three intermediate supports from autumn 2021.
