Nesselgrundviadukt

The Nesselgrundviaduct spans across the Nesselgrund valley with its three-span concrete structure, connecting Dresden and Görlitz through essential railway infrastructure.

German forces destroyed the original stone arch bridge on May 8, 1945, leading to a temporary wooden construction in July 1945 for single-track operations.

The viaduct represents a vital transportation link in Saxony, connecting communities along the Dresden-Görlitz railway line through the Prießnitz valley.

The current structure, completed in 2018 at a cost of 6 million euros, carries two railway tracks and incorporates modern concrete engineering methods.

The bridge's foundation utilizes reinforced concrete piles, supporting an integral concrete frame design that replaced the previous 163-year-old arch structure.
