The existing Kattwyk Bridge is a combined road and railway lift bridge over the Süderelbe and connects the districts of Wilhelmsburg and Moorburg. In order to be able to cope with future tasks in the Port of Hamburg, the Hamburg Port Authority began planning a replacement structure for railway traffic at the end of 2008. The existing Kattwyk Bridge is to be retained for road traffic.
