Eifa Railway Viaduct (Alsfeld)
Highlight • Bridge
The viaduct, built in reinforced concrete since 1913, spans the valley in eight arches over a length of 230 m. The bridge is 22 m high. Despite the concrete construction, the viaduct has striking decorative elements in the pilaster strips, the parapet and in the bay windows above the pillars.
Passenger traffic on the 31.3 km long route between Niederaula and Alsfeld was discontinued on May 25, 1974. Freight traffic on the Alsfeld - Eifa section (with the railway viaduct) continued until May 28, 1988. The railway viaduct, which characterizes the landscape, has been inoperative since the Eifa-Alsfeld section was closed. However, it is a listed building for technical and historical reasons.
