The Wasserstraßen-Neubauamt (WNA) Heidelberg is a central unit of the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsverwaltung des Bundes (WSV). It was founded in 2007 to modernize and rebuild the hydraulic structures on the Neckar and Lahn in a future-oriented manner.
The main mission of the WNA Heidelberg is to modernize and secure the waterway infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient shipping. Values such as sustainability and environmental protection play a central role in the planning and implementation of the projects.
The WNA Heidelberg is committed to ecological continuity by building fish ascent and fish descent facilities. These measures help to protect and preserve the natural habitats of fish and other aquatic life. In addition, the structures are designed to be easy to maintain in the long term and to meet the requirements of the future.
The WNA Heidelberg is currently planning the replacement construction of the weir footbridge at the Wehr Wieblingen. This project includes the renewal of the footbridges over the power plant canal and the weir fields 1 to 4. The new footbridges will be equipped with non-slip surfaces to increase safety[1].
