Dresden is racing against the clock to demolish the partially collapsed Carolabrücke before rising waters from the Elbe River create further complications. The bridge's collapse has spurred 24/7 demolition efforts, involving a specialized firm and Bundeswehr recovery tanks.

With the Elbe expected to reach a critical level of 4 meters by Sunday, urgency surrounds the cleanup to prevent additional flooding damage. The city's firefighting teams and local authorities are working tirelessly to clear the debris, while monitoring the alarming rise in water levels.

The situation underscores broader concerns about the deteriorating state of infrastructure in Germany, with many bridges and transport routes in dire need of investment and repair. The incident has drawn attention to the fragility of the nation's infrastructure and the pressing need for robust state investments to prevent further calamities.

As Dresden prepares for potential flood conditions, the story of the Carolabrücke serves as a cautionary tale for the rest of the country.
