The new bridge crossing the B 264 east of Eschweiler-Weisweiler seen from the west side on 11 May 2008. It will carry a new line from Eschweiler-Weisweiler (currently the terminal station of the branch line coming from Stolberg Hbf via Eschweiler-Talbahnhof) to Langerwehe (located on the main line Cologne-Aachen). From December 2008 on Euregiobahn services will be extended to Langerwehe (every train, half-hourly) and even Düren (every second train, hourly) to enhance the connection towards Cologne.

b477_bu1.jpg (103070 bytes)

The bridge crossing the street between Blatzheim and Manheim on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren (ABS 4) seen from the north side on 23 August 2001. The old bridge for two tracks was extended to carry three tracks. The southern part remained unchanged, this track will be used for the S-Bahn (urban trains). The northern half of the old bridge was removed to build a new bridge for the two highspeed tracks. Parts of the old pillars remained under the new bridge, the old bricks show where they were. The new pillars will be covered with bricks, too.

b59n_pu1.jpg (83097 bytes)

East of Pulheim, a bridge which will lead the new B59n road over the railway line to Cologne is under construction. On 27 february 2005 (a sunday), a big crane lifted the five steel girders into position. Obviously for safety reasons the line was closed for this operation, passengers were transported by busses. Later the space between the girders will be filled with concrete.

connecting curve Weißig-Böhla, construction site
Construction site of the new connection curve Weißig-Böhla, bridge over Federal Route B 101 near Großenhain. It will enable direct runs of high speed trains from Leipzig to Dresden via the Berlin-Dresden Railway which runs parallel to the Leipzig-Dresden Railway. It will allow much more capacity on both lines by diverging cargo and regional traffic and high speed traffic. View towards northwest. Photo taken Monday 7 June 2010.
