Elbebrücke Lauenburg, Combined road and rail bridge in Lauenburg/Elbe, Germany.
The Elbebrücke Lauenburg is a combined road and rail bridge that spans across the Elbe River and connects two municipalities on opposite banks. The structure uses steel truss construction with multiple support sections, with separate levels built to handle both car traffic and train movement simultaneously.
Construction of this steel structure started in 1951 as part of post-war infrastructure rebuilding in northern Germany. The project addressed the need to restore transportation links across the river and meet the region's growing traffic demands.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement of the 1950s, demonstrating German technical expertise in creating dual-purpose transportation structures.
The bridge carries a federal road and a railway line across the river, serving as a key transportation hub for the region. Visitors can view the structure from both riverbanks or observe it from passing trains and vehicles.
The bridge demonstrates a rare solution where cars and trains travel on separate levels without interfering with each other. This two-story system was an innovative answer to the challenge of combining two heavily used transportation routes over a natural obstacle.
