UNESCO report recommends the construction of a tunnel instead of a bridge in Dresden World Heritage site

Monday, 10 March 2008

The international mission of experts sent to review plans to build a bridge in the cultural landscape of the Dresden Elbe Valley (Germany) in early February is recommending that the plan be abandoned in the interest of preserving the outstanding universal value that warranted the inscription of the site on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2004.
