Maintalbrücke Veitshöchheim

The Maintalbrücke Veitshöchheim is a railway bridge made of prestressed concrete that crosses the Main Valley between Veitshöchheim and Margetshöchheim. It was built with a flat design and passes over several transport routes including Federal Road 27 and a railway line.

Construction of the bridge took place between 1985 and 1987 as part of the Hannover-Würzburg high-speed rail line. The project represented an important step in improving railway connections across the region.

The bridge design changed from a high arch to a flat structure following community input, demonstrating the integration of public concerns into infrastructure planning.

The bridge is accessible by train since it is part of an active railway network. Best views are available from nearby hiking paths or from areas around the local station where you can see the structure from different angles.

A world record was set on December 2, 1986, during construction for advancing a single-sided superstructure using three different pushing systems at the same time. This technical achievement demonstrated innovative methods in bridge building.
