Implenia lifts 1,300-ton steel segment into place on A7 Rader High Bridge replacement over Kiel Canal

(AWP Alliance News) - Implenia has lifted a 1,300-metric-ton steel segment into place on the replacement Rader High Bridge, a 1,500-meter highway crossing that carries Germany's A7 over the Kiel Canal near Rendsburg. The 118-meter central span was pre-assembled in the Port of Rendsburg, moved by pontoon, then hoisted into position using hydraulic strand lifting technology.

The operation required two closure periods of the Kiel Canal, including loading on July 14, 2026. The installation closes the main gap over the canal, marking a key construction milestone on the project.
