The first of the two new bridges was already commissioned in July 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the final load test, three locomotives were used: a Class 2016 Hercules, a Class 1216 Taurus and a Class 1144. Together, they brought around 250 tonnes onto the bridge. According to \u00d6BB, the structure handled the load as planned and meets all safety requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new bridge is 62 metres long and crosses the Salzach at a height of around 12 metres. It has a steel structure, modern bearing technology and an optimised load-bearing design intended for long service life and reduced maintenance needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For passengers, \u00d6BB says the new structure should support more stable and reliable rail operations. The modern design is expected to reduce maintenance work and lower the risk of infrastructure-related disruptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the bridge itself is complete, final works around the structure may still cause individual restrictions between Schwarzach and Saalfelden until 3 July 2026. \u00d6BB advises passengers to check their connections before travelling.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new bridge replaces an approximately 100-year-old structure on the second track.
