Hochbrücke Brunsbüttel

Hochbrücke Brunsbüttel, Steel bridge in Brunsbüttel, Germany.

Description

Hochbrücke Brunsbüttel is a steel bridge crossing the Kiel Canal and serving as a major traffic connection between both sides. The structure uses truss design with steel girders and supports multiple traffic lanes across the waterway.

History

The bridge was built during the early 1980s to improve traffic flow across the Kiel Canal. Its completion marked an important step forward for infrastructure in this port region.

Culture

The bridge structure became the subject of an award-winning documentary film by Karsten Wiesel, receiving recognition at the K3 International Short Film Award 2015.

Practical

The bridge allows clearance for ships of moderate height and ensures larger vessels can use the canal below. Pedestrians and cyclists should use designated areas to safely cross the structure.

Did you know?

The construction required 1,165 foundation piles with a total length of 20,800 meters due to the challenging soil conditions in the area.
