Weißeritztalbrücke, Road bridge in Dresden, Germany

The Weißeritztalbrücke is a 218-metre road bridge carrying the A17 motorway across the Weißeritz valley in Dresden. It consists of two parallel bridges, 219 and 217 metres long, supported by four reinforced-concrete piers 28 metres above the valley floor. The hollow-box girders are painted turquoise, and the deck is up to 15 metres wide and 50 centimetres thick.

Construction of the bridge began in spring 2000 and was completed in 2002 as a solution for crossing the valley. The official opening took place in 2004, marking a new chapter in the development of the motorway connection through Dresden.

The bridge is part of the "Tunnel-Brücke-Tunnel" sequence with the Dölzschener and Coschützer tunnels on the A17, a combination described in the sources as the motorway's most technically demanding structure. Its hollow box girder carries a turquoise paint, and the deck slab is up to 15 metres wide and 50 centimetres thick.

Access to the bridge is for vehicles traveling on the A17 heading toward the valley. Visitors can view the structure from the valley floor or from nearby vantage points that offer clear views.

The bridge simultaneously crosses the Weißeritz River, Tharandter Street, and the Dresden-Werdau railway line in a single structure. This multi-layered function makes it a technically noteworthy solution for urban infrastructure.
