The Zeppelin Bridge consists of a five-span arched structure (built in 1914-1918), which crosses the Elster flood basin, and a single-span extension (built in 1936), designed as a reinforced concrete girder grid, which spans the bike / sidewalk adjoining to the east. The repair work includes the replacement of the end walls and the construction of a new load-distributing plate. Construction is to be carried out in 2 to 3 construction phases. The first construction phase is to be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2022.
