Sauer Valley Bridge

The Sauer Valley Bridge is a long steel structure spanning the Sauer River valley and carrying the A1 motorway from Luxembourg and A64 from Germany. It features a single box girder design and crosses the valley in a gentle curve.

The bridge was completed in 1987 and built from 68 steel sections assembled in multiple deliveries. It was an important infrastructure project to improve road connections between Germany and Luxembourg.

The bridge links Germany and Luxembourg directly, serving thousands of daily travelers crossing between the two countries. For visitors, it represents the seamless movement of people across European borders.

The bridge is easily reached by car or bus since it sits directly on the A64 or A1 motorways. Access happens automatically when driving on these highways with no special arrangements needed.

The bridge was built entirely from prefabricated steel pieces fitted together on site like giant building blocks. This modular construction approach allowed faster completion and reduced traffic disruption during the building phase.
