The bridge connects Solingen and Remscheid and has been significantly affected by 120 years of rail traffic and weather conditions. Changes in current standards revealed deficiencies, making a major renovation necessary to extend the service life by at least 30 years. The static recalculation was carried out by IWS Engineers, while PSP - Professor Sedlacek and Partners conducted the tests using RSTAB. The model documents the complex renovation process and the historical state of an iconic steel bridge.
