The monumental worksite of the Western Bypass of Strasbourg

The construction of the Strasbourg West Bypass (COS) is a real logistical and technical challenge. Indeed, 47 crossing structures and 3 exceptional engineering structures mark out the 24 km route (the Vendenheim viaduct of 456 m, the Bruche viaduct of 462 m and the covered section of Vendenheim of 295 m), without counting 2 interchanges and 2 motorway connections.

Carrying out work that takes place simultaneously on the entire route is complex and the constraints encountered are diverse: roads, paths, rivers, SNCF network, protected species, etc. The construction of no less than 15 prefabricated reinforced concrete structures has been entrusted to the company MATIÈRE

Vendenheim Swing Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

very nice swing bridge. I couldn't make out another one on the canal and I rode a very large part of the cycle path on the canal..

bright red bridge

Highlight • Other

That's a color—bright red—it immediately makes you more awake than before!
This color was probably chosen to break the monotony of the canal dwellers.
