In spring 2025, the Ludwig-Volk-Steg was demolished. The much more beautiful Höchheim Mainsteg, opening in late autumn 2024, is now a feast for the eyes. Wider, accessible by bicycle, and with a gentler incline, it is also easily accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Beautifully illuminated in the evenings.

The new Main Bridge ("Höchheimer Steg") between Veitshöchheim and Margetshöchheim was officially opened to pedestrians and cyclists on November 5, 2024, after four years of construction. Margetshöchheim Mayor Waldemar Brohm and his Veitshöchheim colleague Jürgen Götz officially opened it during a small ceremony. The Höchheimer Steg crosses the federal waterway Main and connects the communities of Margetshöchheim and Veitshöchheim at km 244.4 of the Main River. The bridge is a cable-stayed bridge (anchored suspension bridge with two pylons) with a usable width of 3.00 meters and a railing height of 1.30 meters. The total length is 311.00 meters, and the suspension bridge itself is 112.00 meters long. The bridge has no obstructive piers in the Main River. Since larger ships now operate on the Main, the old Ludwig-Volk-Steg (commissioned on July 24, 1967) was no longer considered stable in the event of a collision with the pier foundations. On January 20, 2025, the old Ludwig-Volk-Steg was closed after almost 58 years. Work began in February 2025 to prepare for the dismantling of the Ludwig-Volk-Steg. The dismantling was completed in June 2025.
