Paul Sauer Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The Paul Sauer Bridge extends 192 meters across the Storms River gorge, reaching a height of 120 meters above the water level.
Italian engineer Riccardo Morandi designed this infrastructure project, which was completed in 1956 at a cost of 100,000 British pounds.
The structure represents a milestone in South African engineering, marking the advancement of infrastructure development during the mid-twentieth century.
Located on National Route 2 between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, the bridge serves as a primary connection point for vehicles traveling the Garden Route.
The construction method involved four separate semi-arches built vertically on opposite sides of the gorge, then rotated and lowered to meet in the center.
