The Elster Valley Bridge Pirk is one of the most unusual motorway bridges in Germany. The building of this bridge began in 1937, but was stopped in 1940 due to the chaos created by World War II.

In June 1990 preliminary investigations began, and finally in September 1990 the building of the bridge began anew. In August1993 the bridge was opened to traffic. Federal Motorway 72 now uses the bridge.
