    The bridge structure near Frieda, which was put into operation in 1880, was located on the former Leinefelde-Treysa railway line of the Kanonenbahn. Similar to the still existing Lengenfeld viaduct just a few kilometers away, the superstructure of the Frieda viaduct was initially designed with a support structure arranged under the roadway. In the last days of the Second World War, the bridge was blown up by retreating Wehrmacht units. Due to the division of Germany, the railway line near the border lost its importance and the bridge was never rebuilt. Today, only the two abutments on the right and left are hidden in the dense vegetation.
