being no expert at all, i would say after reading a little of the history
about the bridge, they built it to get arms and equipment across to the

west
quickly, either during or before the first war and after its demolition

and
the war, it probably wasnt needed anymore, but i think also there may be a
little national humiliation involved!


If it was a matter of national humiliation they would scarcely
have built a museum there. Its simply no longer required.


That seems to be the case. The museum website includes a map of the area, and
looking at it there appear to be several bridges just to either side of Remagen,
some having autobahns passing over them.
