A bridge that was built so that trains can cross the canal. Or ships the railway line. Or cyclists, hikers and female cyclists. Wait... whatever. The riveted historical bridges were renewed, approximately at the beginning of the millennium. A pity, a pity. But hey, they are blue (all)(the bridges) and the Bimmelbahn can zoom over them at full speed.
