Wikipedia: The Nibelungen bridge consists of two road bridges that span two Danube arms in Regensburg at River kilometre 2378,39. The present construction was built between 2001 and 2004, as the old bridge, which was built between 1935 and 1938, was no longer sufficient for the increased volume of traffic. It is one of the major bridges across the Danube in the area of Regensburg with an average of 42,000 vehicles per day.
The Nibelungen bridge 2004 carries six lanes across the Danube, two of these lanes are reserved for promoting public transport exclusively for buses and taxis. The bridge is now part of the Federal Highways B 8 and B 15. It is, in addition to the pagan Steiner bridge and the Schwabelweiser bridge one of the three bridges across the Danube, which can be navigated without further restrictions. 
The building consists of two bridges of same type of construction depending on a Danube arm with the intervening Donauinsel Wöhrden. The southern bridge has a total span of 168.9 meters and spans one port track, the North is 206,90 metres long. Both bridges have a continuous beam with three fields as building system in longitudinal direction and a main span of 90 meters. At the south bridge the two edge fields stretch each 39,45 metres far, 58.45 metres at the North Bridge. In the transverse direction each two 15.4 meters wide and 3.2 meters are available consistently high racks with a single-cell box girder in composite construction and projecting out reinforced concrete road slab, which is at an angle down.
