Floridsdorfer Brücke, Tram and road bridge in Floridsdorf, Austria
The Floridsdorfer Brücke is a tram and road bridge crossing the Donaukanal and linking several Vienna districts. The structure carries both street trams and vehicles on distinct levels, allowing movement in both directions.
The bridge was completed in 1924 during Vienna's reconstruction following World War I. It became a key piece of the city's modernization efforts to better integrate the northern districts.
The bridge reflects Vienna's early 20th-century approach to connecting disparate neighborhoods through practical infrastructure rather than monumental design. It quietly shaped how residents moved between districts and built the city's modern identity.
The bridge is accessible on foot and offers clear crossing points for pedestrians, cyclists, trams, and cars. Access is straightforward from both sides of the canal, with clearly marked walkways.
A new tram line will transform this crossing into a hub connecting two developing neighborhoods in the coming years. This will significantly expand its role as a transportation corridor.
