Altstadtbrücke Meißen, Road bridge in Meissen, Germany
The Altstadtbrücke spans 205 meters across the Elbe River, featuring three traffic lanes and dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
The first wooden bridge at this location was built in 1160, while the current steel structure was completed in 2000 after replacing its deteriorated predecessor.
The bridge connects the medieval old town of Meissen with its eastern districts, facilitating access to the renowned Meissen Porcelain Manufacturing district.
Located at coordinates 51.1644, 13.4767, the bridge maintains a clearance height of 6.36 meters during high water levels and measures 18.1 meters in width.
The construction process utilized floating cranes to install sections of the bridge while preserving the original support structures from previous versions.
