Lavant viaduct, Road bridge in Bad St. Leonhard im Lavanttal, Austria.
The Lavant viaduct is a road bridge in the Lavant Valley in Carinthia that crosses the valley on tall pillars. The structure connects Bad St. Leonhard with surrounding regions and is a striking element of the landscape.
The bridge was constructed in the 1980s and opened to improve transportation through the valley. Its completion altered regional traffic patterns significantly.
The viaduct stands as an engineering achievement in the Lavant Valley, where mining activities and mineral springs shaped local development.
The viaduct is easily accessible from the main road through the valley and serves as a key transit route. The best time to view it is in clear weather when the structure stands out clearly against the surroundings.
The structure rises 165 meters above ground, making it the second highest bridge construction in Austria.
