Rossauer Brücke, Prestressed concrete road bridge in Alsergrund, Austria.
The Rossauer Brücke is a road bridge made of prestressed concrete that crosses the Danube Canal and connects the districts of Alsergrund and Leopoldstadt. The structure includes pedestrian pathways and offers clear views of the waterway below.
The bridge was built during Vienna's post-war reconstruction when the city rebuilt its infrastructure after World War II. It shows the modern engineering techniques that Austria developed in the mid-20th century.
The bridge connects two active districts and serves as a gathering point where residents take walks along the canal paths. From here, visitors can watch the busy water traffic and explore the green spaces along the banks.
The bridge is easily reached by public transportation, with several tram and bus stops nearby. It is a good place for a walk along the canal in any weather.
The bridge was built using prestressed concrete, an innovative technique widely used in Austria after the war. This construction method made the structure lighter and stronger than earlier techniques.
