Unstrut Railway Viaduct crossing the spacious Unstrut Valley in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

While travelling from Naumburg (Saale) to the Nebra Sky Disk visitor centre by bus, I got this view of the newly built Unstrut Viaduct. Serving for the high-speed line Berlin–Munich, it crosses the spacious Unstrut Valley.

With a length of 2,668 m, it is considered the second-longest railway bridge in Germany. It is part of the Verkehrsprojekt Deutsche Einheit Nr. 8 (VDE8). This German Reunification Transport Project is a venture to link Western and Eastern Germany after the German reunification.
