Norderelbe bridge

The Norderelbe Bridge extends 411 meters across the River Elbe, featuring a dual cable-stayed design with five distinct spans measuring 31, 64, 172, 64, and 71 meters.

The bridge opened in 1962 and underwent substantial modifications in 1985 to handle increased traffic volumes, marking a significant development in Hamburg's transportation network.

The bridge's engineering design reflects the industrial and maritime character of Hamburg's harbor area through its structural elements and architectural composition.

The structure accommodates both federal highway A1 traffic and local transportation needs, connecting different sections of Hamburg across the Norderelbe waterway.

The bridge employs varying pylon heights and cable arrangements to address asymmetrical span widths, resulting in a distinctive structural configuration.
