Rose Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Tulln an der Donau, Austria
Rose Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Danube River with steel cables running from central towers down to the deck. The design distributes weight efficiently through the cable system, minimizing the need for support pillars in the water.
The bridge opened in 1992 as part of infrastructure improvements along the Danube in Lower Austria. It was built to handle growing traffic between the northern and southern areas of the region.
The bridge carries the name Rose Bridge in local usage and connects the two main parts of the town. It has become part of daily life for residents who cross it regularly on foot or by vehicle.
The bridge is open to both vehicle traffic and pedestrians, providing a direct crossing between the S5 expressway and local roads. You can cross in either direction at any time without special restrictions.
The cable design was specifically chosen to eliminate the need for large support pillars in the river riverbed. This choice keeps the river channel clear for boat traffic and protects the natural flow of the water.
