Scherkondetalbrücke, Railway bridge in Thuringia, Germany

The Scherkondetalbrücke extends across the Scherkonde valley with a prestressed concrete structure featuring seven beams measuring 45 meters in length.

Constructed in 2011, this bridge forms a crucial segment of the Erfurt-Leipzig/Halle high-speed rail line, marking a step forward in German railway infrastructure.

The bridge exemplifies German engineering precision through its semi-integral design and construction methods that reduce maintenance requirements while maintaining structural integrity.

Each of the seven concrete beams weighs 110 tons and requires specialized transport equipment including 6-axle modular chassis with 8-axle trailers.

The design eliminates central pillars through innovative engineering, reducing construction duration by fifty percent compared to traditional bridge building methods.
