Hochbrücke Brunsbüttel, Steel bridge in Brunsbüttel, Germany.
The Hochbrücke Brunsbüttel spans across the Kiel Canal with a total length of 2,831 meters, featuring four traffic lanes and a height of 44 meters.
Construction of this transportation link began in 1979 and reached completion in 1983, requiring 5,000 tons of steel and 76,000 cubic meters of concrete.
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.
The bridge maintains a clearance height of 42 meters for maritime traffic while connecting both sides of the Kiel Canal as part of federal highway 5.
The construction required 1,165 foundation piles with a total length of 20,800 meters due to the challenging soil conditions in the area.
