The invention relates to a bridge for a rail vehicle, including a track, which is formed from two parallel rails (S1, S2) and is provided for being driven on by the rail vehicle, and including a bridge beam (B1, B2), which supports the rails (S1, S2) of the track and is aligned transversely to a support profile (T1, T2) of the bridge. The bridge beam (B1, B2) is supported by a height adjustment element (R1, R2) arranged between the support profile (T1, T2) and the bridge beam (B1, B2), and wherein at least one fastening device is provided by means of which the position of the bridge beam (B1, B2) is fixed in relation to the height adjustment element (R1, B2). In order to be able to achieve an exact positioning of the bridge beams at their target height with reduced effort and at low costs, the invention proposes to design the height adjustment element (R1, R2) as a single-piece block, whose height (HR) is adapted to the distance between the support profile (T1, T2) and the bridge beam (B1, B2) by means of material-removing processing. Preferably, the bridge beam and the height adjustment element thereby consist of a plastic-based material, in particular a plastic-sand mixture.
