The '''Elster Valley Bridge Pirk''' is one of the most unusual motorway [[bridge]]s in [[Germany]]. The building of this bridge began in [[1937]], but was stopped in [[1940]] due to the chaos created by [[World War II]]. Since this bridge then was in the restricted area of the [[German Democratic Republic|East Germany]], construction was not restarted until [[1990]]. In June 1990 preliminary investigations began, and finally in September [[1990]] the building of the bridge began anew. In August [[1993]] the bridge was opened to traffic. Federal Motorway (Ger. Bundesautobahn) 72 now uses the bridge.
