Pulvermuhl Viaduct

The viaduct crosses the Alzette valley between the north exit of the Luxembourg station and the Rham Plateau.

The viaduct has two abutments and four intermediate supports of hollow reinforced concrete, supported by deep foundations of hollow reinforced concrete with a bridge deck formed of a composite structure made of a metal frame and a triangular tubular reinforced concrete slab.

[2] This structure (as well as the other two viaducts in the city of Luxembourg) are based on plans of Waring Brothers Company.

During the preparations for the construction site, remains were unearthed dating back partly to the Middle Ages.

In geological strata dating the 17th century, archaeologists discovered 13 tombs and twenty bodies.
