Werra Viaduct, Hedemünden

The Werra Viaduct consists of two parallel bridges spanning 415 meters across the Werra River valley at a height of 59 meters.

The original structure from 1937 was destroyed during World War II, leading to a temporary bridge until permanent construction in 1952.

The viaduct serves as a connection point between northern and southern Germany, integrating the Hanover-Würzburg railway line with the A7 motorway system.

Strong winds on the bridge approach from Kassel necessitate speed restrictions, with monitoring cameras installed on the northbound lanes.

The structure connects two tunnels on the high-speed rail line: the Münden Tunnel and the Rauheberg Tunnel, while crossing multiple transport routes below.
