Horb
New connection across the Neckar Valley
Milestone for the region
The foundation stone for the Neckartal Bridge in Horb was laid in April 2023. It is a milestone for the region and will significantly improve the quality of life in the future. Reduced through traffic and a redesign of the passage will bring both noise and pollutant relief to Horb. The bridge is scheduled to open for traffic by the end of 2026. The bridge, which will rise up to 92 meters high and stretch 667 meters across the Neckar Valley, will also bring a visual change to Horb and the surrounding region. With relatively low, outward-leaning pylons and a comparatively slender superstructure supported by relatively flat stay cables, it will blend seamlessly into the landscape.
The reinforcement steel for the bridge project is supplied by the SÜLZLE Steel Partner site in Dornstetten, with support from Rosenfeld, Dußlingen, and Pforzheim. On behalf of PORR GmbH & Co. KGaA, approximately 4,700 tons of reinforcement steel and 36,500 screw connections will be delivered to the construction site from February 2023 until the end of 2026.
