The last component of the new Friesen Bridge successfully used!
On the construction site of the new Friesen Bridge over the Ems in East Frisia, a crucial milestone was reached: the last and largest part of the bridge, an impressive rotating segment of 1,800 tons and 145 meters in length, was safely placed on the substructure this morning at 5:30 a.m. This was announced in a press release by Deutsche Bahn (DB). The installation of the bridge part began the night when the EMS was dammed up during the so -called swimming - a process that is usually reserved for large cruise ships, such as Kreiszeitung-Wesermarsch reported.
construction progress and cost estimate
The new Friesen Bridge will be the largest hub shoot bridge for rail traffic in Europe after completion. Commissioning is planned in mid -2025 after the construction costs of originally 125 million euros have increased to more than 200 million euros. These massive investments are necessary after the old Friesen Bridge was significantly damaged by a freighter in 2015, which has interrupted the crossing of the EMS for pedestrians, cyclists and rail traffic, as ndr held.
The bridge is a central component of the long -distance railway between Bremen and Groningen, also known as the "miracle line". Their special function makes it possible to let large ships pass by turning the bridge part. This innovative building will not only restore rail traffic, but also support cycling and pedestrian traffic. Builders have already planned other elements to complete the bridge in good time.
