Aussicht über die Elbe von der Brücke bei Bad Schandau

The Elbe Bridge Bad Schandau is a 268 m long road bridge on the federal highway 172, which spans the Elbe in Bad Schandau at river kilometer 11.53. The structure was erected in 1977 above the old Elbe bridge.

The road bridge has four openings with spans of 50.0 m on the left bank of the Elbe, 100 m above the river and two times 59.0 m on the right bank of the Elbe. In the river area there is a clear height of 6.53 m at the highest navigable water level.
As a building system, the prestressed concrete structure has a single-cell box girder cross-section with inclined webs and a constant construction height of 2.70 m and a deck width of 13.6 m.

The flow opening is spanned by a prestressed, parabolic-shaped concrete band. The drawstring has a massive rectangular cross-section with a width of 3.04 m and a height of 0.6 m. Every 10.5 m there is a support for the sub-tensioning on the superstructure with a concrete slab 25 cm thick. The clear distance to the bridge superstructure is a maximum of 3.28 m in the middle of the field.

The structure was built with a falsework in the edge areas; the cantilever cantilever guyed with an auxiliary pylon was used to open the stream.
Extensive repairs were carried out between 2001 and 2003.

From the bridge you have wonderful views over the Elbe and Bad Schandau.

A mandatory crossing to get from the train station to Bad Schandau on the other side of the Elbe. The bridge is very high and there is also a safe bike path!

The bridge has a length of 268 m. It was built in 1977.

Under the bridge is the penny "free" parking lot.

At the moment you have to change sides over the bridge because the Elbe Cycle Path on the right between Bad Schandau and Königstein is closed.

Particularly beautiful at sunset 🌅😃

Simply beautiful the Elbe 😃

However, I prefer the ferry.
