The Waldschlößchen Bridge in Dresden, Germany - Plan of execution of the superstructure.

The Waldschlößchen Bridge in Dresden is the long imagined, now built, crossing of the river Elbe, the necessity of which was already discussed by our forefathers. The discussion continues to this day. They were and are of political, aesthetical, economical and technical character. The new bridge is a remarkable example of German engineering. It is geometrically challenging, hence very detailed in the construction, which made the manufacture and installation a bold undertaking. This paper will cover the technical process and execution of both the composite steel superstructure, and the steel supports.
