The Rhine-Ruhr Express (RRX) route was being upgraded to reduce delays caused by long distance, regional and freight transport sharing the same tracks. At Leverkusen, the bridge on Rathenaustrasse was widened to accommodate a new railway line on the Langenfeld/Leverkusen section. Wagenborg was tasked with installing two bridges next to the existing bridge: a main track bridge and a pedestrian / cycle bridge. Both bridges had to be installed over a weekend without disrupting rail services. The tracks on the existing bridge remained in use throughout the weekend.
