Eiffage consortium wins €110 million contract to replace critical bridge infrastructure in Nuremberg

An engineering consortium led by Eiffage has secured a €110 million contract from the city of Nuremberg to construct two dual-carriageway bridges and modernizing connecting access roads, with completion scheduled for late 2030.

According to official corporate disclosures, an industrial consortium comprising Eiffage subsidiaries Eiffage Infra-Bau and SEH, alongside partner Mostostal Kraków, has secured a €110 million civil engineering contract from municipal authorities in Nuremberg. Within the project allocation, Eiffage commands a major €95 million share. Eiffage is a prominent European concessions and construction company based in France with a robust operational presence in Germany, where it generated €2.8 billion in revenue in 2025.

The targeted initiative mandates the replacement of two sequential bridges and associated access links that no longer comply with modern structural safety, traffic capacity, or sustainability guidelines. Engineering designs specify a 105-meter elliptical arch steel bridge over the Main–Danube Canal, to be preassembled and floated via waterway, and a second 62-meter steel structure crossing the A73 motorway. To protect regional transit flow, the motorway bridge will be built adjacent to active lines, with full project conclusion slated for late 2030.

This development heavily impacts Western Europe's heavy civil construction, transit logistics, and public sector engineering markets. The asset modernization represents a vital installment of Germany's broader national infrastructure stimulus strategy, designed to remediate decades of transport bottlenecks along critical arterial networks. On a policy level, the contract underscores Germany’s reliance on high-tech prefabricated metal construction models to compress structural delivery timelines and minimize disruption across major continental trade passages.

For institutional investors and project developers, Eiffage’s backlog expansion demonstrates the sustained commercial viability of public-private technical partnerships in executing high-barrier, complex water and highway engineering projects.
