Erdberger Brücke, Road bridge in Donaustadt district, Vienna, Austria.
The Erdberger Brücke is a road bridge crossing the Donaukanal in Vienna with six traffic lanes, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and integrated U-Bahn tracks. The structure also contains utility tunnels that run beneath the main deck to support the city's infrastructure.
The bridge underwent a major structural failure in 1976 that required complete reconstruction of the entire structure. It reopened in 1980 with enhanced safety features and reinforced design.
The bridge connects multiple districts of Vienna, facilitating the movement of residents between different cultural and residential neighborhoods.
The bridge connects directly to the U-Bahn network, making it easy to cross using public transport without a car. Separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists provide safe passages during all times of day.
The bridge employs a double-deck cantilever design with a hollow box structure that optimizes load distribution across the span. This arrangement allows multiple transportation modes to operate simultaneously in a compact footprint.
