The Syratalbrücke is a railway bridge in Plauen .

The bridge spans the eponymous Syrabach in the Syratal , over which the Plauen – Cheb railway runs . The foundation stone for the 210-meter-long structure was laid on October 7, 1871. The bridge was built from hewn granite in the metric system, with the pillars largely made of diabase and the arches are made of sandstone.

The bridge has eleven arches. The clear width of the three middle arches (IV-VI) is 17 meters each. This is followed by two arches on both sides with a clear width of 14 meters.
