The Köhlbrandbrücke is a cable-stayed bridge in Hamburg, Germany which connects the harbour area between the Norderelbe and Süderelbe branches of the Elbe river with motorway A7 (exit Waltershof).

   The bridge is made from about 81,000 cubic metres of concrete and 12,700 tonnes of steel. Each day, about 30,000 cars pass over the bridge. It took 4 years to build it, its total cost being 160 Million DM.
