Elbebrücke Geesthacht, Girder road bridge in Geesthacht, Germany
The Elbebrücke spans across the Elbe River with a main steel structure measuring 409.5 meters in length and eight separate openings at intervals of 55 meters.
The bridge construction started after the 1962 flood when authorities determined the necessity for an additional crossing point between Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
The Elbebrücke functions as one of two fixed river crossings connecting the German federal states of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein across the Elbe River.
Located along Federal Road 404, the bridge structure incorporates a 16.2-meter-wide road deck supported by longitudinal beams positioned at 6-meter intervals.
The bridge combines two distinct engineering solutions: a steel superstructure for the main section and a prestressed concrete design for the lock canal segment.
