Pierre Pflimlin bridge
The Pierre Pflimlin Bridge (Pont Pierre Pflimlin in French) is a 957 m long (main span 205 m) motorway bridge over the river Rhine between Germany and France, south of Strasbourg / Kehl. It is named after Pierre Pflimlin, a former French prime minister, and was opened in 2002. It was funded in cooperation between France, Germany and the European Union.
Planned for several decades, it was built during the late 1990s and early 2000s by the construction companies Bilfinger Berger and Max Früh.
The funding for its construction was provided to 55.5% by France, 38.6% by Germany and 5.9% by the European Union.
The bridge carries two traffic lanes and two pedestrian / cycle routes. Its main function is to reduce pressure on the only other close-by Rhine bridge, the Pont de l'Europe/Europabrücke at Strasbourg-Kehl to the north, by connecting the motorway Lauterbourg/Strasbourg-Saint-Louis/Basle from France to the A5 Hamburg/Frankfurt/Basle motorway in Germany.
Due to the Schengen Agreement, there are no border controls on the bridge, despite it spanning the French-German border.
