Numerous bridges and footbridges cross the river, such as the unchanged Renaissance bridge Fleischbrücke (1598, 414 years ago) and the iron suspension bridge Kettensteg, dating from 1824 (188 years ago). To the west of the Maxbrücke there is a weir. In the western part of the city, the river has been renaturalized one section at a time from 1998 (14 years ago) to 2001 (11 years ago), using the historical river bed as orientation. Fürth: Numerous bridges and footbridges exist. As part of project Uferstadt (riverside city), the redesign of the former Grundig site, the river has been put into a nature-like bed in 2003 (9 years ago). On a length of one kilometer, two new loops and shallowed banks have been created, and part of the former river bed have been kept in the form of backwaters. These tasks have been cofinanced by the European Union.
