Franzensbrücke, Steel arch bridge in Leopoldstadt district, Austria.

The Franzensbrücke spans across the Wien River with six traffic lanes, railway tracks, and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.

Initially constructed in 1876 as Kronprinz-Rudolph-Brücke, the bridge underwent reconstruction in the 1930s and received its current structure in 1980.

The bridge gained recognition through its appearance in the 1948 film The Third Man, connecting different neighborhoods of Vienna.

The structure accommodates approximately 50,000 vehicles daily while providing dedicated lanes for various transportation modes including the U-Bahn system.

During World War II, this bridge remained intact while other Vienna bridges sustained damage, maintaining essential urban connectivity.
