Elisabeth Bridge, Stone arch bridge in central Vienna, Austria
The Elisabeth Bridge crosses the Wien River with a main span of 24.4 meters, featuring stone construction and architectural elements from the 1850s period.
The bridge opened on April 24, 1854, serving as a vital transportation link until its closure in 1897 due to structural considerations.
Named after Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the bridge represents the architectural preferences and engineering capabilities of mid-19th century Vienna.
The bridge stood at coordinates 48°12'1.8"N and 16°22'7.3"E, connecting two sections of Vienna across the Wien River for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The structure incorporated both stone arch and road bridge elements, demonstrating the dual-purpose engineering approach common in 19th-century Austrian infrastructure.
