Kyll Viaduct, Double-span arch bridge near Wilsecker, Germany.
The Kyll Viaduct is a reinforced concrete arch bridge that spans across the valley of the Kyll River. The structure consists of two main arches supporting the roadway above, designed to carry motorway traffic across this deep and challenging terrain.
The bridge was designed in the early 1990s and completed near the end of that decade to fill a critical gap in the motorway network through the Eifel region. Its construction was essential to meet growing transportation demands in this area.
The bridge exemplifies German engineering methods through its design choices, incorporating regional architectural preferences for functional concrete structures.
The viaduct sits along the A60 motorway between the Bitburg and Badem exits and is easy to access from either direction. Those wanting a clear view of the structure can stop at nearby rest areas or view it from roads in the surrounding region.
The structure holds the distinction of being Germany's largest concrete arch bridge, with its main span stretching 223 meters across the valley.
