The Carola Bridge is a bridge in Dresden across the Elbe river, built in 1967 to 1971 replacing an earlier bridge, which had been built in 1895. The earlier Carola Bridge was destroyed by the SS on 7 May 1945, one day before VE Day, to prevent Soviet advance. A large section of the new bridge collapsed into the Elbe river on 11 September 2024.^[1]

The bridge collapsed between 02:58 and 02:59 (UTC+2). No injuries were reported.^[2]
