The viaduct bridge Becker (colloquially: Viaduct Chemnitz or Chemnitztalviadukt ^* ) is under monument protection standing railway bridge in the city of Chemnitz .

Geographical location

With the bridge, the Dresden – Werdau railway crosses Annaberger Strasse ( B 95 ), the Chemnitz river and Beckerstrasse in Chemnitz .

history

The bridge was built between 1901 or 1903 and 1909 by the Queen Marienhütte in Cainsdorf (Zwickau). The Peiner rolling mill was also involved in the production of the steel girders. The city of Chemnitz and the Royal Saxon State Railways took over the construction costs of 1,050,999 marks .

The bridge originally ran four tracks across the valley. The four-track use lasted about 20 years. Subsequently, two tracks were shut down and dismantled after the Second World War as war compensation for the Soviet Union . Currently (2019) two tracks have been laid on the bridge and are in use.

As part of major new construction and renovation work in Chemnitz, the replacement by a new bridge and the subsequent demolition of the viaduct were planned. However, this was rejected by the Federal Railway Authority due to the monument protection.

The German railway has now organize a technical advisory board to support the redesign of the section on receipt of the old bridge.

construction

The riveted steel truss bridge is a combination of two arched bridge segments and several sheet metal girder bridge segments . The bridge has twelve openings. From east to west, a single-span beam bridge segment over the Bundesstrasse 95 , Annaberger Strasse, and an arched bridge segment over the Chemnitz are lined up; two two-span girders connect before the seventh opening as an arched bridge crosses Beckerstrasse. The section between the second arch bridge segment and the western abutment is filled by two girder bridge segments, one of which is a two-span girder, the other a three-span girder.
