Two railway overpasses were built to develop the Hansalinie Bremen-Hemelingen industrial estate. The railway line 1404 is crossed here at km 6.8 + 182.

The two transferred tracks are at different elevations, approx. +12.19 metres above sea level on the north side and approx. 10.14 metres above sea level on the south side. The ground level is approx. 6.00 m above sea level. Due to the different track heights, the distance between the tracks is so large that a superstructure slab could not be realised. Two railway bridges were built next to each other.

Sheet piling was driven into the railway embankment to create the substructures. In addition to securing the embankment, these also served to support 4 ZH 9 auxiliary bridges, each with a span of 24.00 metres. DB AG requested and carried out extensive monitoring of the temporary bridges. After excavation, the bridges were given a bored pile foundation with the abutments on top. The superstructures were built parallel to the railway embankment and slid into place after completion of the abutments.
