The first narrow bridge crossing the upgraded line Cologne-Düren
(<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/strecke/strecke.html">ABS 4</a>)
west of Buir seen from west on 23 August 2001. The old bridge which
crossed the two old tracks on the right was removed long ago, now a new bridge
is built that will also cross the two highspeed tracks which will be built on
the left. Note that there is no pillar in the middle and the pillars are some
meters away from the tracks, this should prevent that a derailed train destroys
the bridge like it happened in Eschede.
