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!

Bullay Double-Deck Bridge
The bridge in Bullay is Germany's first double-decker bridge.
The bridge in Bullay is Germany's first double-decker bridge. The 314-meter-long bridge was built between 1875 and 1878 during the construction of the Koblenz-Trier railway line as part of the "Kanonenbahn" (Cannon Railway).
During World War II, supplies to the Western Front ran over the bridge. On February 10, 1945, it was destroyed in an air raid and rebuilt, reopening on April 24, 1947.
