Built in 1928 by a renowned engineer, a modern bridge crossing the Rhine was eventually no longer strong enough for today's heavy traffic and was replaced by a new viaduct nearby. With strong local support, the original elegant structure was preserved and restored and now serves pedestrians. This volume tells the story of this masterpiece of civil engineering set in the context of the entire bridgescape, documenting the fascinating restoration and offering a portrait of the people involved in saving this hidden monument, richly illustrated with photographs.
