On so-called SPMT heavy-duty vehicles – remote-controlled platforms with a total of 1,088 wheels – the steel structure is transported around 500 metres from its assembly site on Max-Brauer-Allee to its final location. A century of construction for Hamburg's rail transport The new Star Bridge replaces a 1926 building that has reached the end of its technical life after about 100 years.
