The Omega bridge (Omega-Brücke) is a planned road bridge in Niebull, Germany, under construction during in the late-2020s. This new bridge at Niebüll station will supersede the heavily used level crossing across the Marsh Railway, the Niebüll–Dagebüll railway (NEG), and the tracks leading towards the Bramming–Tønder railway line.[1][2]

An underpass for pedestrians and cyclists will be constructed.[3]

The tracks under the bridge will be electrified, and part of the Marsh Railway will be expanded to double track under the new bridge.[4][5] Construction work will be coordinated between the bridge works and the railway expansion.[6]
