hmm it already looked in very bad condition before
Amazing that the load bearing arches survived
Arches are amazing
Floods have always been bad!
Greens try to highjack a natural desaster for politic propaganda!
and so on.
still standing. Id call it 1:0 for bridge.
Nooooooo
It doesn’t look that bad, it just needs some polish..
And, somehow, is able to stand there… Impressive.
you could tell me that the bottom picture is from WW2 and id believe you
Shows how strong this type of arches are.
*Carolabrücke left the channel*
If it wasnt for the houses in the background I would have thought these were different bridges because I didnt immediately realize that the reason they have a different “thickness” to them is that the railing was completely washed away.
Pretty incredible that the rest didnt go too, tbh.
Shout out for the bridge conception and resilience. A bridge to be proud of.
Hope they will repair it, not replace it, or at least not by something horrific.
Looks like a warzone
More details and photos of the bridge, built in 1565.

Looks like it wasn’t meant to be built for too many centuries.
In Germany we would say: “Hätten wir mal die Brücke in Dresden auch so gebaut nee? Danke Merke!!!” /jk
The main load bearing arches survived. Only the fragile retaining upper walls (I’m sure they have a proper name) were damaged. Easy to fix then.
that is one strong ass bridge
