The Andrei-Sacharow-Brücke ( Dutch Andrej Sacharovbrug ) spans the Nederrijn , the northwest arm of the Rhine in the Rhine-Meuse delta , in the Dutch city ​​of Arnhem .

Provinciale Weg N325 runs on the prestressed concrete structure released in 1987 and is connected to the A12 ( The Hague - Federal Motorway 3 ) and the N348 (Arnhem– Ommen ) in the north of Arnhem via the Knooppunt Velperbroek motorway junction . In a southerly direction, the N325 initially leads to Nijmegen and from the border as federal road 9 to Kleve .

The building is officially named after the Russian nuclear physicist, Nobel Prize winner and dissident Andrei Dmitrijewitsch Sakharov . Occasionally the bridge is also named Pleijbrug or Koningspleijbrug after the street on it . These names go back to the area called Kleefse Pleij at the junction of the IJssel from the Nederrijn. This point is only about 1.5 kilometers upstream.

At 760 meters, the Andrei Sakharov Bridge is Arnhem's longest bridge. The spans of the double box girder bridge are 37 m + 4 × 49 m + 80.5 m + 133.4 m + 80.5 m + 4 × 49 m + 37 m. The river bridge rests on two V-shaped main pillars that are firmly connected to the superstructure. The structure is located at kilometer 13.02 of the Dutch waterway 103 ( Pannerdens Canal –Nederrijn– Lek ) (Rhine kilometer 879.90). The next bridge upstream is the Emmerich Rhine Bridge, around 27 kilometers away .
