Construction of bridge structure 18 as part of the new construction of the B 67n/B474n Reken - Dülmen motorway.

Straßen.NRW commissioned Eiffage Infra-West with the construction of BW 18 as an overpass for the new B 67n/B474n Reken - Dülmen motorway over the DB line between Dülmen and Coesfeld.

The contract includes the bridge structure as well as a 26 m long culvert under the DB line.

The structure is a single-span slab bridge as a half-frame, the superstructure consists of prestressed precast concrete girders and a cast-in-place concrete addition as a carriageway slab.
The span width is around 9.50 m.

With a relatively short core construction time of just 8 months, 400 m³ of soil was replaced, approx. 700 m³ of concrete and approx. 120 tonnes of concrete and prestressing steel were used.
