Successful lifting of a reinforced concrete composite bridge in Muttenz

Night operation for crane work

In the night from 15. on the On January 16, as part of the repair work on the Grenzacher Bridge in Muttenz, we were able to lift the new 275 t, 50 m long reinforced concrete composite bridge over the N02 freeway using our 750 t crawler crane. Thanks to our modern equipment, it is possible to handle such unique load cases with this category of crane.

For EMIL EGGER AG, this assignment marks the completion of the N02 bridge replacement sub-project, in which we were already involved in the dismantling of the existing bridge in the fall of 2023 and were able to carry out the transport and crane work for the assembly of the steel structure.

Construction work on the bridge should be completed by the end of March this year so that the other bridge sections over the SBB track field can be replaced.

We would like to thank the project partners involved for their successful cooperation.
