Wiesentalbrücke, Prestressed concrete road bridge in Lörrach, Germany.

The Wiesentalbrücke stretches 1201 meters across the Wiese River valley, reaching heights of 32 meters above the landscape with 57 support pillars.

The construction of the bridge commenced in 1977 following extensive planning, and workers discovered historical cannonballs from Rötteln Castle during the groundwork phase.

In 2010, the city of Lörrach designated numerous bridge pillars for legal graffiti, establishing the Bridge Gallery that exhibits street art collections.

The structure carries approximately 23,000 vehicles daily on the A98 motorway, with heavy goods vehicles constituting 10 percent of the traffic flow.

Engineers designed the bridge to withstand earthquakes due to its location in Germany's highest seismic activity zone, incorporating specific structural reinforcements.
