Hexenbrücke, Abandoned railway bridge in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia

The Hexenbrücke is an abandoned railway bridge on the disused Nikolaychuk–Kamyshevo-Sakhalinskoye line in Sakhalin Oblast. Built by the Japanese in 1928, it is 200 metres long and 50 metres high, with a steel framework and piers showing damage from a 2007 forest fire.

The bridge was built by the Japanese in 1928 as part of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk–Polyakovo railway line, on the Nikolaychuk–Kamyshyovo-Sakhalinskoye section. Traffic closed in 1994 when that section was shut down, and a forest fire damaged part of the structure in 2007.

The name Witch Bridge comes from local folklore, and the structure is also known as the Devil's Bridge. The bridge stands on the abandoned Nikolaychuk–Kamyshevo-Sakhalinskoye railway section, which closed in 1994. A forest fire damaged part of the span in 2007.

The structure is closed to regular traffic and requires special permission and safety equipment for close inspection. The remote location and deteriorated condition demand careful preparation before attempting any visit to the site.

The bridge is 200 metres long and stands 50 metres high, built by the Japanese in 1928 on the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk–Poliakovo line. A forest fire damaged part of the structure in 2007, after traffic had already stopped in 1994 when the Nikolaychuk–Kamyshevo-Sakhalinskoye section closed.
