Deutsche Bahn (DB) prepares the “Alte Krefelder Straße” railway bridge for the future and renews the bridge structure, which is about 20 meters long. Starting next Friday, September 16, the experts will dismantle the existing bridge and parts of the abutments. The experts then renew the stumps and perform work on bored piles. Then, at a later stage, the two new steel superstructures are lifted into position. In Krefeld, a crane is used to lift 100-ton components to the right place in centimeters. Once the new superstructure is installed, the construction experts tackle the superstructure including the tracks. DB is investing over seven million euros in the complete renovation of the bridge and thus in a high-performance and future-proof infrastructure.
