Nesenbach Viaduct
The Nesenbach Viaduct is a bridge on the Gäubahn (Stuttgart – Singen) over the Nesenbach Valley near Stuttgart-Vaihingen between the Österfeld and Vaihingen stations .
The old bridge construction consisting of two single-track, three-part bridge superstructures made of steel framework with two central pillars was destroyed on April 21, 1945. It was put back into operation on August 13, 1946 as a single track and only opened on two tracks from May 27, 1959.
As part of the expansion work for the Stuttgart S-Bahn , the Gäubahn was expanded to four tracks in this section in 1982/83. Therefore the Nesenbach Viaduct also had to be expanded to a four-track structure. Instead of building another two-track bridge, the existing bridge was demolished while operations continued and replaced by a new four-track structure, which looks like the old bridge. The bridge is 111 meters long, the clear width of the middle section is 44 meters and the height is approx. 30 meters. The construction costs amounted to approx. DM 11 million.
Today a modern road bridge runs parallel to the Nesenbach Viaduct, which leads the north-south road , a bypass of the city center of Vaihingen, over the Nesenbach.
