Eisenbahnbrücke Riesa, Railway bridge in Riesa, Germany.
The Eisenbahnbrücke Riesa is a steel arch bridge spanning the Elbe River, connecting Riesa and Zeithain with a continuous rail track. The structure comprises multiple sections and accommodates both passenger and freight trains crossing it.
The first major railway bridge at this location was built in 1839, marking one of the early achievements of Germany's rail network. After wartime damage, the present bridge opened in 1966 and has defined the area since then.
The bridge shapes the skyline of Riesa and remains a visible reminder of the region's industrial heritage. It connects two communities and enables daily movement of people between them.
The bridge is visible and accessible from nearby roads or walking paths. It is best to visit during daytime to see the structure and appreciate how it fits into the active rail corridor.
The main arch spanning the Elbe shipping channel rises about 14 meters (46 feet) and was specifically designed to allow river traffic to pass freely beneath. This feature shows how railway construction and river commerce coexisted in the region's development.
