Lautertalbrücke, Steel girder bridge near Kaiserslautern, Germany
The Lautertalbrücke spans 275 meters across the Lauter Valley, standing 30 meters above the valley floor with six concrete support pillars.
Constructed in 1937 for the Reichsautobahn project, German forces destroyed the bridge in March 1945 before American troops reached the area.
The original bridge pillars incorporated regional red sandstone cladding, reflecting the traditional building materials of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The bridge carries the A6 Autobahn traffic between Kaiserslautern-West and Kaiserslautern-Zentrum, supporting three lanes of modern vehicular movement.
A new crossing replaced both aging structures in 2015, constructed using shifted formwork technique and costing 25 million euros.
