About the Bridge:
It is approximately 121 m long and in the middle it has a 5.8 m wide tram route, two 5.9 m wide carriageways for motorized traffic, two 1.5 m wide cycle tracks on both sides, and one each 4.95 m wide sidewalk. In one day it will be used for over 50,000 vehicles and 1530 tram trains.
                            


From this angle, the two churches look like they are right next to each other, but check out this view ...
