Den genfundne bro - Horsens - Bryrup jernbane - Danmark - Railroad Bridges on Waymarking.com

Da man i 1899 byggede en jernbane mellem Bryrup og Horsens blev der ved Gammelstrup opført en 14 meter høj og 50 meter lang stålgitterbro over Gudenåen. Broen fik dog en forholdsvis kort levetid, da den allerede 30 år senere blev begravet i en dæmning fordi man skulle udvide jernbanens sporvidde. Dæmningen blev udstyret med to betongennemføringer til Gudenåens vand.
Horsens Kommune begyndte i foråret 2014 at fjerne dæmningen. Målet var at skabe fri passage for ørreder og andre fisk, der gyder i Gudenåen. Og midt i arbejdet dukkede den gamle jernbanebro frem af jorden.
Broen viste sig at være så velbevaret, at Horsens Kommune og Naturstyrelsen besluttede at sætte den gamle bro i stand og bevare den for eftertiden.
Broen, der nu kaldes ”Den genfundne bro”, ligger i forbindelse med naturstien mellem Horsens og Silkeborg.


When in 1899 a railway was constructed between Bryrup and Horsens, a 14 meter high and 50 meter long steel grating bridge was constructed at Gammelstrup over the river Gudenå. However, the bridge had a relatively short life, as it was already buried 30 years later in a dam because of the extension of the railway track. The dam was equipped with two concrete gutters for the water of Gudenåen.
In the spring of 2014, Horsens Municipality began removing the dam. The goal was to create free passage for trout and other fish that spawn in the river God. And in the middle of the work, the old railway bridge emerged from the ground.
The bridge turned out to be so well-preserved that Horsens Municipality and the Danish Nature Agency decided to put the old bridge in place and preserve it for posterity.
The bridge, now called "The Found Bridge", is in connection with the nature trail between Horsens and Silkeborg,
