Description
• Elevatory Bridge renovated from April to October 2005.

• Length: 290 m.
• Elevatory Segment: 100 m.

• The bridge structure consists of two trapezoidal trusses on the side openings and a parallel truss beams on the main opening, which is suspended by 32 steel cables.

• A peculiarity of the bridge is the rails on its middle of the road. Because of this division between rail and road, the passage of freight trains through Barrier Systems, closes the road.

• In March / April 2006, the bridge was closed once again for subsequent work.

• Once in January 2008, a technical defect in a ball bearing ensures that the Hubteil no longer could be moved, the bridge was taken out of service. The road remained locked until the bridge re-opening on 15.12.2008.
