Neckarbrücke Wendlingen

The Neckarbrücke Wendlingen is a railway bridge crossing the Neckar River valley to connect trains running between Stuttgart and Ulm. The structure is made of reinforced concrete and rests on substantial pillars anchored deep in the riverbed.

Construction of this bridge started in 2015 following a Europe-wide tender process and was completed in late 2020. It was an important part of a major infrastructure project to improve railway connections in the region.

The bridge represents a major infrastructure development in the Stuttgart-Ulm railway corridor, connecting communities and facilitating regional transportation networks.

The bridge is visible from the Neckar valley and can be viewed from several nearby vantage points. The best views are from the walking paths along the river or from the nearby motorway areas.

During construction, special protective measures were implemented for local animal species and natural habitats to minimize environmental impact. These precautions made the project an example of environmentally responsible bridge construction in Germany.
