Hochstrasse Oldenburg, Prestressed concrete highway bridge in Oldenburg, Germany
Hochstrasse Oldenburg is a prestressed concrete bridge that carries Bundesautobahn 28 over the Hunte River in Lower Saxony. The structure spans roughly 1,450 meters and connects the areas of Marschweg and Kreyenbrück with four lanes for traffic plus emergency lanes.
Construction began in 1979 and finished in 1981, using innovative methods to assemble prefabricated sections on site. The project reflected Germany's infrastructure development during that era and represented advances in concrete bridge engineering.
The bridge structure represents a period of infrastructure expansion in Lower Saxony during the early 1980s, marking technological progress in German engineering.
The bridge is freely accessible as part of the highway system and carries daily traffic across the region. Viewing the structure is best from the roadside or from nearby intersections where you can see its scale and design.
The main span extends roughly 98 meters without intermediate supports, allowing the river to flow freely beneath without obstruction. This engineering solution was notable for bridges of this size built during that period.
