Hamburg dismantles 540-ton iron bridge

The German Railway Company (Deutsche Bahn) carried out a carefully planned explosion of a nearly 96-year-old steel bridge in Hamburg, aiming to upgrade the infrastructure and relocate the Altuna station to a new site at Deppstich. The operation was conducted after evacuating the area and temporarily suspending train traffic, with measures in place to minimize the release of hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead during the demolition. Following the explosion, dismantling teams began removing the remnants of the bridge in preparation for the construction of new tracks. The new Altuna station is expected to resume service in 2029.
