Gandetal Bridge

The Gande valley bridge is a railway bridge on the route kilometer 61.12 of the high-speed line Hanover – Würzburg in the district of Northeim in Lower Saxony.

Location and course

Coming from the north, the bridge runs approximately 1200 m west of Bad Gandersheim and around 900 m east of Orxhausen and, with nine fields and a length of 396 m, spans the federal highway 64 and the railway line from Kreiensen to Salzgitter .

The route runs straight in the structural area. To the north, after a short dam and an incision, the Wadenberg tunnel joins. To the south, after a dam, is the Orxhausen depot .

Structure

static system and view (schematic)

The specialty compared to a large number of viaducts on the high-speed route is the superstructure , which consists of two individual continuous beams .

The two superstructures on the 4th pillar (from the Würzburg abutment) were separated. There is a movement joint here in order to avoid constraints and internal stresses due to thermal or horizontal loads.

The approximately 14 m wide bridge was dimensioned for two tracks with a continuous ballast bed according to the standard cross-section for bridge structures of the German Federal Railroad .

history

The structure was located in the 2.6 km long planning approval section 2.12 of the new line.
