Wörsbachtal Bridge

The Wörsbachtalbrücke is a 528 m long railway bridge on the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main ( route kilometers 115). The high-speed route crosses the Wörsbach in the Hessian community of Brechen and therefore bears its name.

It is the third longest bridge on the line and the longest bridge in section B in the middle section of the new line.

course

The route runs in a southerly direction in a right curve.

In addition to the Wörsbach, the 3277 state road is also crossed.

The structure was the first bridge in section B.

The structure was built with a propeller armor and completed on August 11, 1999.
