Humboldthafen Bridge

The Humboldthafen Bridge extends 188 meters across the Humboldthafen waterway, featuring four independent concrete decks supported by steel arches with a main span of 60 meters.

Construction of the bridge began on July 4, 2002, and reached completion in September 2006, marking a significant expansion of Berlin's railway infrastructure after German reunification.

The bridge earned recognition through the Deutscher Brückenbaupreis in 2008 for its engineering excellence and structural design that connects central Berlin's transportation network.

Located near Berlin Hauptbahnhof, the bridge carries multiple railway tracks of the Berlin Stadtbahn system, supporting both passenger and freight transportation across the city.

The structure incorporates cast steel joints connecting steel tubes to concrete decks, with arch tubes measuring 660 millimeters in diameter and 100 millimeters in thickness.
