The viaduct over the water route Teltowkanal in Berlin/Germany is the first railway
bridge implementing the VFT construction method with integral abutments. By now
this construction method established by SSF Ingenieure became the state-of-the-art in
the design of slender bridges crossing existing traffic routes (see pp. 2330).
