The colloquial name for a bridge to nowhere in Germany is "Soda-Brücke" (a pun on "so da" = "just there"). Many of the bridges were built in the 1970s as part of the [[Autobahn]] network, but the oil crisis and rising environmental consciousness slowed many highway extensions.

* The [[Bundesautobahn 66]] had a bridge near Ahl ([[Bad Soden-Salmünster]]) built in 1966 that was not connected until 1994. 
* The bridge near [[Euskirchen]] was planned to be part of Autobahn 56. Construction was stopped, and the existing parts of the highway were renamed [[Bundesautobahn 562]]. ({{coord|50|40|39|N|6|44|54|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})
* The bridge near Merklinde, a suburb of [[Castrop-Rauxel]], was to be part of the B245 expressway and the "New [[Hellweg]]". The bridge was completed in 1978 but was never connected. ({{coord| 51.5374|N| 7.3391|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})
* The Schänzlebrücke in [[Konstanz]] was built 1975 but not connected until 2007. ({{coord|47.6701|N|9.1630|E|type:landmark_region:DE|name=Soda-Brücke}})
