Dütebrücke, Road bridge in Osnabrück, Germany.

Dütebrücke is a road bridge in Osnabrück that crosses the Düte River and the Löhne-Rheine railway line. The structure connects different sections of the A1 autobahn and allows traffic to flow between northern and southern regions.

The Dütebrücke was built in 1967/68 with the A1 autobahn as a single structure carrying both directions. In 2005 it was widened to six lanes, but a 2010 report cut its remaining lifespan to five years and the outer lanes were closed. From 2017 to 2022 the old bridge was demolished in halves and replaced by a new twin structure.

The bridge functions as a central transportation artery in Lower Saxony, enabling the movement of over 64,000 vehicles daily between regional communities.

The bridge is open to traffic at all times as it is part of the regular autobahn network. Visitors should note that congestion during peak hours is possible and alternative routes may be useful.

Where the drilling rig could not operate because of the low bridge height, 3,500 concrete blocks, each 1.60 m long and 80 cm high and wide, were stacked in 25 layers under the bridge to compact the ground. The 2.5-tonne blocks were a rarely used method.
