The railway bridge is the eastern one and placed higher than the road bridge. The road bridge is at street level. The new road bridge is not on the same spot as the old one. The railway is in a tunnel now.
The railway viaduct is over 800 meters long on the north bank through the old city centre. The railway viaduct was a demand from the city so the traffic in the city would not be affected. The railway viaduct is built on the filled up old trajectory of the river Rotte. South the railway was on an embankment.
