A bike tour over the Freihafenelbbrücke is one of the highlights that you should have ridden when you are in the area. There are fantastic views from the bridge.

The Freihafenelbbrücke was built in order to create a structurally separate crossing of the Elbe for what was then the free port. Construction work began in 1914 and was discontinued in 1917 due to the war. It was not completed and opened until 1926. [4] The bridge piers were made with caissons made of reinforced concrete. [5] The 471 m long bridge is directly adjacent to the railway bridge. In addition to three lanes, it also has a separate railway track for the Hamburg port railway, which, however, has been cut on the north side since 2015 and is no longer passable. The last train ran here on July 5, 2012.

This is the Freihafenelbbrücke. It's worth driving over here, stopping and enjoying the fantastic views.

The Hamburg Elbe bridges are several independent bridge structures that cross the Elbe in Hamburg. They connect the northern districts with the Elbe islands, the port area and the Harburg district south of the Elbe. In addition, they have an important supraregional function as north-south connections in European road and rail traffic. Together with the Old Elbe Tunnel (1911) and the New Elbe Tunnel (1975), the Elbe bridges form the last fixed crossings before the river flows into the North Sea.

Elbe bridges in the narrower sense are several parallel railway and road bridges that connect Hamburg's city center with the Elbe islands of Veddel and Wilhelmsburg and, because of their low clearance height, also form the eastern end point of the area of the Lower Elbe navigable for seagoing vessels and the port of Hamburg. Their southern counterpart are the Harburg Elbe bridges over the Süderelbe, which are also signposted as Elbe bridges on road signs in the city.

In addition to these Elbe bridges in the narrower sense, there are other bridges in the city area over the Elbe, which forms an inland delta with several main and side arms. However, these bridges are usually not referred to as Elbe bridges, but only with their respective proper names such as B. Kattwyk or Köhlbrand Bridge.

From here, biking railway and architecture fans have a good view of the Freihafenelbbrücken with their busy rail traffic and the riveted classic steel arch construction.
