The project
The 576.5 m long Scherkondetal Bridge was awarded the German Bridge Construction Prize 2012 in the “Road and Railway Bridges” category because, according to the jury's verdict, it was “an aesthetically convincing, innovative structure and a milestone in modern railway bridge construction”. It is the first semi-integral prestressed concrete bridge for the high-speed traffic of Deutsche Bahn. The superstructure consists of a haunched prestressed concrete slab beam created with a feed scaffold.
