Elsetalbrücke, Prestressed concrete road bridge in Kirchlengern, Germany.
The Elsetalbrücke spans 526 meters across the Else River valley, connecting both sides of Kirchlengern through Federal Highway 239.
The construction of this modern bridge began in the late 1990s and reached completion in 2000, costing approximately 13.1 million Deutsche Mark.
The bridge construction process was documented by a German television program 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' through time-lapse photography over one year.
This hollow bridge structure allows internal access for maintenance workers while supporting daily vehicle traffic between Herford and Lübbecke regions.
The bridge rises 53 meters above sea level and was constructed using an incremental launching method, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques.
