Carola Bridge, Road bridge in Dresden, Germany.
The Carola Bridge spans across the Elbe River with three superstructures supported by two piers, connecting different sections of Dresden's urban landscape.
Originally constructed in 1895, the bridge was destroyed by SS forces in 1945, then rebuilt between 1967 and 1971 using prestressed concrete technology.
The bridge stands as an example of East German engineering from the 1970s, reflecting the architectural and technical capabilities of that period.
A section of the bridge carrying tram lines experienced a collapse in September 2024, leading to immediate safety measures and infrastructure assessments.
The northern span measures 58 meters, marking it as a substantial engineering achievement for East German construction standards of its time.
