The Rhumebrücke is a 554 m long railway bridge on the high-speed line Hanover – Würzburg northwest of the Lower Saxony city ​​of Northeim . On the bridge, the route crosses the Rhume between the route kilometers 78.4 and 78.9 and therefore bears its name. It is located in the Northeimer Seenplatte area , a series of gravel lakes not far from the Rhumebrücke of the same name on the Hanover Southern Railway .

The structure was founded on two meter thick large bored piles up to 18.5 m deep in order to enable gravel extraction in this area later. The field distance is 25 m. At the moment (as of 2009) the gravel mining areas for which the bridge was built to cross do not yet come close to the structure.

In 1984 the planned construction costs were 13.5 million Deutschmarks .

history

The section of the bridge was assigned to section 3 in the regional planning procedure . The proceedings ended on September 30, 1977. In the planning approval procedure , the bridge area belonged to section 3.1.

With the construction of the bridge, construction work began on the new line in the 27 km long section between Northeim and Göttingen in July 1982 .

The gravel lakes on the edge of the bridge were designated as recreational areas in the mid-1980s. In order to find a viable solution for their crossing, the former Deutsche Bundesbahn commissioned the same engineering office that also planned the conversion of the lakes to plan the crossing. It was u. a. to comply with the city's request to create a passage height of 7.5 m so that sailing boats could also pass under the structure. Solid parapets on the bridge were provided as noise protection. The construction work began in the summer of 1982, the planned construction costs were 13.5 million D-Marks .

After the bridge was completed, the bridge was largely surrounded by solid land. Only a gravel lake reached the elevated roadway.
