The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link is set to be the world's longest combined road and rail tunnel connecting Denmark and Germany when it opens in 2029. The tunnel will be constructed in massive 73,000-ton sections, each roughly half the length of the world's biggest container ship. These sections will be carefully positioned under the seabed, creating a new route for cars, trains, and freight. Once complete, travel times between Copenhagen and Hamburg are expected to be just 2.5 hours by train, compared to 4.5 hours today. This interesting article delves into more about the engineering and construction behind this marvel.

Wuppertal wonderful suspension railway, running since 1901!! In more than 120 years this engineering marvel has carried millions of people and... an elephant! 🐘 The remarkable suspension railway in Wuppertal, Germany 🇩🇪 , is a stunning feat of engineering that was inaugurated in 1901. Its creator, Eugen Langen, proposed the idea of constructing a railway suspended over the river Wupper as a more convenient option to traveling on the congested roads of Wuppertal. The majority of the railway's route runs above the river Wupper, while other parts of the journey are elevated high above the bustling main roads. The cars are suspended from a single rail, which is positioned below a massive supporting steel frame consisting of 486 pillars and bridgework sections. At both ends of the route, specifically at the Oberbarmen and Vohwinkel stations, the two-car trains navigate through enclosed, tightly-curved tracks before re-emerging on the opposite platform. It's truly remarkable that such a marvel of engineering was envisioned and constructed over 120 years ago. What are your thoughts on it? And do you know when it carried an elephant?

🚧 Unveiling the Future of Road Maintenance with the "ASTRA Bridge"! 🌉 This revolutionary mobile construction bridge for highway maintenance was developed by the Swiss company Marti Technik AG on behalf of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). It allows road traffic to continue flowing over the bridge while maintenance work is carried out underneath. This innovative design ensures that construction activities do not disrupt the daily commute, enhancing both efficiency and safety. 🇨🇭🦺 Advantages of the "ASTRA Bridge": ➡️ 🚗 Seamless Traffic Flow: Road traffic continues to flow over the bridge while maintenance work is carried out underneath. ➡️ 🛡️ Enhanced Safety: Increases the safety of both road users and construction personnel. ➡️ ⛈️ Protected Work Environment: Workers are shielded from adverse weather conditions and can avoid working at night. ➡️ 🔇 Noise Reduction: Eliminates nighttime construction noise, providing relief to nearby residents. ➡️ 🛠️ Versatile Applications: Ideal for laying road surfaces, replacing joints, and restoring bridges. In a nutshell, the "ASTRA Bridge" is a game changer in how we approach highway maintenance, combining safety, efficiency, and innovation. 🛣️💡 For more information, click on the following link: 👇
