Bridge-builder – LR 1800-1.0 links previously divided Berlin neighbourhoods of Moabit and Mitte

November 20, 2020

The new 800 tonne Crawler Crane hoisted a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Berlin-Spandau Ship Canal to connect the previously divided neighbourhoods of Moabit and Mitte. The Golda-Meir-Steg, as the 78 metre bridge is called, was named after the former Israeli Prime Minister.

The steel bridge was built in Deggendorf and had to be transported 1600 km by barge using inland waterways to get it from Bavaria to Berlin. The enormous LR 1800-1.0 Crawler Crane hoisted the new bridge off the barge right on schedule on 22 October. It was then turned into position using rope and man power before being lowered carefully by the crane.
