Lindaunis Bridge

The Lindaunis Bridge (Danish: Lindånæsbroen) is a bascule bridge crossing the Schlei, an inlet of the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein, at one of its narrowest parts.

The steel bridge, that has been declared a monument in 1997, opened to traffic on 17 July 1927.

The bridge is special in the sense that it is used both by the hourly local train travelling along the Kiel-Flensburg railway, and by car traffic.

The predecessor of the current bridge was built in 1881 and replaced in 1927 because the passage was not wide enough.

The bridge consisted of two bowstring arch truss superstructures with a symmetric swing span in the middle.
