Rhine Bridge, Railway bridge in Kehl, Germany and truss bridge in Strasbourg, France.
The Rhine Bridge spans 238.4 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the cities of Kehl and Strasbourg with steel truss construction and twin railway tracks.
The first railway bridge at this location opened in 1861, followed by multiple reconstructions due to wars, with the current structure completed in December 2010.
The bridge ownership changed between France and Germany following territorial shifts, reflecting the evolving relationship between these neighboring nations over 150 years.
Modern trains cross this international bridge at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour, maintaining a minimum clearance of 7 meters above water for river vessels.
The bridge construction required collaborative engineering between French and German teams, resulting in shared maintenance responsibilities divided at the river's midpoint.
