Sulzbachtalbrücke, Road bridge and viaduct in Sulzbach/Saar, Germany.
Description

The structure was built in the 1960s as part of a modern road connection and has shaped the valley landscape since then. It underwent major renovation work later to maintain and strengthen its structure.

The bridge forms an integral part of the A8 autobahn network, connecting communities between the Elversberg junction and Friedrichsthal interchange in Saarland.
