Germany, Hamburg, the "Elbbrücken" metro station, Elbe bridges station, near the three railway & road bridges called "Elbbrücken" leading over the River-North-Elbe. The metro station consists of two elevated tracks & platforms, opened December 2018 & connected by interlinked skywalk for the Hamburg S-Bahn commuter trains also with two tracks & platforms. The station is the terminus of the U4 line of the metro & will be a new stop for two S-Bahn, commuter trains lines. It was built to facilitate a better accessibility for the new HafenCity quarters of Hamburg from the south.
The curved arches of the futuristic glass roof with 1200 glass panes of 250 kg each & a height of up to almost 16 mtr, the station offers its passengers & visitors a lot of light, wide & many views towards the harbour, the city & the new city quarters, because being located right on the water, the station has an integrated viewing platform. The platform hall is built in a north-south orientation, thus providing the technical prerequisite for an extension of the U4 over the river on the "Kleine Grasbrook" & additional connections.
Due to problems during construction works the opening of the S-Bahn stop, originally planned together with the metro station, has been delayed by estimated 12 to 18 month. Holes for the foundation could not be drilled as planned for the apparent reason that drilling machines partly were confronted by resistance at 10 mtr below the surface. The price tag for the U-Bahn section was lower than projected, down from 178 million Euro to 145 million, including the tracks from the previous station HafenCity Universidad, the cost for the S-Bahn stop is anticipated to rise from 43 to about 60 million Euro.
