Saale-Elster Viaduct, Railway bridge in Schkopau, Germany
The Saale-Elster Viaduct stretches 6465 meters across the valleys of two rivers, making it the longest railway bridge in Germany.
Construction of this modern transportation connection started in 2006 and concluded in 2013, requiring an investment of 222 million euros.
The bridge passes over protected natural areas, including bird sanctuaries and water protection zones, demonstrating the balance between infrastructure and conservation.
The structure contains 208 pillars and supports trains traveling at speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour between Erfurt and Leipzig.
Engineers designed a track branching system directly on the bridge structure, with one line crossing 21 meters above the other line.
