View of the Alf-Bullay Double-Deck Bridge

This beautiful bridge is the first double deck bridge built in Germany. It is amazing that, despite its age (construction began in 1875), it is still able to cope with train and car traffic. Compared to new bridges, only a small amount of repair and renovation work was previously required to keep them roadworthy. The bridge is rightly a listed building.

The bridge was completed entirely in iron in 1878 and is the first and therefore the oldest double-decker bridge in Germany. The train runs above, on the lower floor is the connecting road between Bullay and Alf.

It's worth a visit, you can cycle under the bridge. I think it's a worthwhile photo opportunity!

Built in 1877 as the first double-decker bridge in Germany, it is a must for railway fans.
"The military-strategic railway line from the German capital Berlin via Güsten, Wetzlar, Koblenz and Trier to Metz in France is referred to as a cannon railway. Metz belonged to Germany at the time, since after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871 France ceded the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine to Germany The railway line was subsequently built in order to efficiently connect the new territory to the imperial and Prussian capital of Berlin. Existing railway lines in state hands were also used." (Wikipedia)
