Review
Would you have known?
The swing bridge at Winterhafen was built around 1877, making it one of the oldest surviving swing bridges. It is 37.50 meters long, 4.50 meters wide, and weighs 54 tons.
Why is the swing bridge sometimes closed?
The Winterhafen Bridge has to be closed twice a year. This is usually because its rotating mechanism is inspected and serviced as scheduled. Sometimes the hydraulics also need to be checked.
The work begins early in the morning. And if no unexpected damage is discovered, the 'hassle' is over by the afternoon at the latest.
During this time, pedestrians and cyclists have to take a small detour. This means that anyone wanting to reach the pier should use the street "Am Winterhafen" in the direction of the Mainz Süd railway bridge. At the rowing club, you then turn back again.
