The Hanzeboog ( German Hansebogen ) is a railway bridge over the IJssel near Zwolle in the Dutch province of Overijssel on the border with the province of Gelderland . It transfers both the historic Centraalspoorweg and the Hanzelijn , which opened in 2012 .
history
The first plans for a rail link between Utrecht and Zwolle were made as early as 1859. In 1864, the Nederlandse Centraal Spoorweg Maatschappij (NCSM) completed the construction of a single-track railway bridge so that it could be used for train traffic from May 21, 1864. It was officially put into operation on June 6, 1864, on the day the Hattemerbroek – Zwolle section of the Centraalspoorweg was opened. From 1920 the bridge was administered by the Staatsspoorwegen , which has been part of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen since 1938 . In the 1930s a new double-track bridge, consisting of two parallel structures, was built on pillars next to the existing bridge, so that trains could now cross the IJssel over two lanes. The old bridge, which was too narrow for the increasing train traffic and could no longer withstand the load, was shut down and on January 21, 1935 the first trains crossed the new bridge. In 1940 the Dutch army blew up the bridge in the course of the Dutch surrender during the Second World War , and five years later the rebuilt structure was destroyed again by German soldiers . After the end of the World War, the bridge was temporarily restored from the remains. The northern construction was ceremoniously put into use in May 1946, while the southern part could only be reconstructed in 1949 and 1950. Since the bridge had to be checked regularly after 60 years and with the construction of the Hanzelijn another railway line was to run across the bridge, a new construction was necessary. On June 14, 2011 the inauguration of the new bridge named Hanzeboog based on the former Hanseatic city of Zwolle took place.
