Wie reißt man eine Brücke über einer ICE-Strecke ab, ohne den Bahnverkehr stillzulegen?

In this German‑language video, the speaker explains how a bridge spanning a high‑speed ICE railway in Würzburg was dismantled while keeping train service operational. The core challenge was to remove the structure without significantly disrupting the rail line. The solution involved erecting protective scaffolding on both sides of the tracks and spanning it with steel beams, creating a temporary work platform that allowed demolition activities to proceed above the live tracks. The only interruptions to train traffic occurred during the installation and removal of the steel beams, each lasting about eight hours, resulting in a total of roughly sixteen hours of impact. The approach demonstrates a practical method for conducting major civil‑engineering work on active railway corridors with minimal service loss.
