Rader Hochbrücke, Steel girder bridge in Borgstedt, Germany.
Description
The Rader Hochbrücke is a steel bridge that spans the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal near Borgstedt, connecting both sides of the waterway. It has four standard traffic lanes plus two emergency lanes and rises approximately 50 meters above water level.
History
The bridge was completed in 1972 as part of efforts to modernize Germany's transportation network. Its steel structure represented a significant engineering solution for crossing the busy canal at that time.
Culture
The bridge design reflects German engineering principles of the 1970s with its narrow main girders supported by double piers across the Kiel Canal.
Practical
When crossing the bridge, be aware of varying speed restrictions that result from previous inspections and maintenance work. Different vehicle types have different speed limits, so watch for signage indicating requirements for cars and trucks.
