Latest bridge-building news: 'semi-integral' bridges on the new Erfurt-Leipzig/Halle railway line

摘要

Currently, a new high-speed railway line is being built between the German cities of Erfurt and Leipzig. Its length, measured from one central station to the other, is 120 km. A new branch is also being built off this line to Halle, and its length is approximately 3 km. There are going to be six viaducts on this new section of line, with a total length of roughly 13 km. Four of them are being built using a novel technique known as "semi-integral".
