The railway bridge over the Weser at Dreye is a 607-meter-long structure on the Wanne-Eickel – Hamburg line near Weser - km 357.2.
history
The structure was built as part of the Hamburg-Venloer Bahn by the Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . On May 15, 1873, the Osnabrück - Hemelingen section went into operation. Using a section of the Hanoverian line from the Wunstorf – Bremen line , the trains were able to travel to the state train station in Bremen . Since the incorporation of Arbergen in 1939, half of the bridge over the river has been in Bremen . Before that, its entire length was in the Prussian province of Hanover .
In 1920 the bridge superstructures were replaced. During the Second World War , the river bridge was damaged on March 19, 1945 by a direct hit by an aircraft bomb. As a result, rail traffic had to be rerouted via the Bremen-Thedinghausen small railway . In 1951 the bridge was again open to traffic without restrictions. When the last large bridges in Bremen were blown up by pioneers of the German Wehrmacht on April 25, 1945, she was spared.
construction
The structure consists of two sections. The 184-meter-long river bridge spans the Weser at route kilometers 229.6 with three superstructures of the same length, designed as a steel trough bridge with an underlying carriageway and strut trusses . Both pillars are in the Weser. The flood bridge over the foreland area to the west is 423 meters long and consists of a series of steel deck bridges with an overhead deck.
