Talbrücke Truckenthal, Railway bridge in Thuringia, Germany

The Talbrücke Truckenthal spans 425 meters across a deep valley, incorporating a dual-track system designed for trains traveling at speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour.

Construction of the bridge commenced in 2007 and encountered significant challenges, including a structural incident in 2008 that required partial demolition and reconstruction of damaged sections.

The bridge represents German engineering principles in modern railway infrastructure, contributing to the advancement of high-speed rail transportation across central Germany.

The structure features 2-meter-high noise protection walls on both sides and utilizes a fixed track system that reduces vibration during train passages.

The bridge's rectangular hollow concrete pillars incorporate a precise 70:1 upward tapering ratio, ensuring optimal stability against lateral forces during high-speed train operations.

Inception: 2011

Part of: Nuremberg Hbf–Erfurt Hbf high-speed railway
