The Paul Sauer Bridge, also known as the Storms River Bridge, is an arch bridge over the Storms River in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The bridge is located on the Garden Route section of National Route 2, between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. With a maximum height of 120 meters above the Storms River, it was the highest concrete arch bridge in Africa until the 216-meter-high Bloukrans Bridge over the same road opened in 1984.
The bridge was designed by Italian engineer Riccardo Morandi and built by Concor between 1953 and 1956.
