The originally single-track bridge was also widened when the Lötschberg railway was expanded to two lanes in the 1980s, recognizable by the narrower component without the beam supports for the arch construction of the old bridge.

The Luogelkin Viaduct is definitely a highlight of the hike. You can see very nicely how they torment the heavy freight trains up the 28% steep ramp. Unfortunately, the express trains have disappeared since there was the tunnel.
