The Riedbahnbrücke West , also called the Westliche Riedbahnbrücke , is a railway bridge in Mannheim and the last bridge over the Neckar before it flows into the Rhine. It runs at Neckar-km 1.88, about 300 m downstream from the Jungbuschbrücke , between the city districts of Innenstadt / Jungbusch and Neckarstadt-West .
Western introduction of the Riedbahn
The Riedbahnbrücke West was completed in 1985 as part of the double-track "Western introduction of the Riedbahn ", which leads from the north west past Mannheim city center to Mannheim Central Station . This is implemented in the port area as a 2200 m long elevated carriageway. The Riedbahnbrücke West connects them across the Neckar. Regional trains of the Rhein-Neckar transport association as well as three ICE lines that connect southern Germany with Berlin , Hamburg , Cologne and Dortmund now operate on the route . The French TGV trains between Frankfurt and Paris as well as Frankfurt and Marseille also run here.
