"Bridge Wedding" VP6 Blankenfelde

  • Eiffage Infra-Nordwest
  • Project update

In November 2022, the time had already come for the "bridge wedding" on the crossing structure on the Berlin outer ring road for the Dresdner Bahn infrastructure project.

Here, the long-distance railway bridge was moved from the upstream pre-assembly site on a skidway over the already constructed abutments and then placed on the structure. We recorded the whole process in a video. Here you can see the wider mainline railway bridge; the suburban railway bridge had already been moved earlier.

The Eiffage VP6 Blankenfelde consortium consists of Eiffage Infra-Nordwest, Eiffage Infra-Rail, Eiffage Infra-Bau and Eiffage Infra-Ost and is building the so-called "Dresden railway" by 2028. By 2025, four new engineering structures (railway overpasses, crossing structures, trough structures) will be built and an approx. 1.5 km long concrete trough; platforms; noise barriers and the associated track, earthworks, civil engineering and track construction will be adapted over a section of approx. 2.5 km so that a double-track long-distance railway line is created after completion of the construction work, which will enable the transfer between long-distance and suburban railway at a new combined platform. Three of the four engineering structures are currently under construction. Due to the operating conditions, the other structures/sections will be erected later in the construction process.
