B173 Lichtenfels, Michelau BW 5-2 and more

As part of the new construction and expansion of the B 173 between Lichtenfels and Kronach, the connection to the town of Michelau is also being revamped. A new junction is being created in a very tight space between the existing B 173 federal road, the already existing connection to Michelau, and the Deutsche Bahn Lichtenfels - Kronach route, consisting of four structures:

BW 5-1: Retaining wall along the new connection to Michelau, 120 meters long and up to 4.80 meters high.

BW 5-2: Overpass of the Michelau connection over the Deutsche Bahn route and the new B 173 with a prestressed concrete bridge as a continuous beam with three spans and a total length of 154 meters.

BW 5-3: Retaining wall between the new B 173 and the Deutsche Bahn route, 154 meters long and up to 9.20 meters high.

BW 5-4: A frame structure for the underpass of the water bodies with a span of 6.50 meters and a total length of 41 meters.
