Waldschlösschen Bridge, Road and arch bridge in Dresden, Germany

The Waldschlösschen Bridge extends 636 meters across the Elbe River with steel arches reaching 26 meters in height and a main span of 148 meters.

The bridge construction, completed in 2013, led to the removal of Dresden Elbe Valley from the UNESCO World Heritage list due to its impact on the landscape.

The structure bears the name of the nineteenth-century Waldschlösschen restaurant situated along the banks of the Elbe River in Dresden.

The bridge carries four vehicle lanes, two bicycle paths, and pedestrian walkways, creating a connection between Dresden districts across the Elbe River.

During the opening ceremony in August 2013, sixty-five thousand people gathered to celebrate the completion of this controversial infrastructure project.
