Pulvermuhl Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
The Pulvermuhl Viaduct spans 242 meters across the Alzette valley with four intermediate supports made of hollow reinforced concrete and reaches 37 meters in height.
Engineers from Waring Brothers Company designed and completed this railway infrastructure in 1862, connecting the Luxembourg station to the Rham Plateau through innovative construction methods.
The structure represents a significant example of 19th-century industrial engineering while archaeological excavations beneath revealed medieval tombs during the 2009 expansion works.
