Ostbahnbrücke, Railway truss bridge in Simmering, Austria
The Ostbahnbrücke spans across the Donaukanal, connecting the districts of Simmering and Leopoldstadt with two sets of railway tracks on its structure.
The German company C. Harkort constructed this bridge in 1870, following designs by engineers Anton Battig and August Friedrich Nathanael Köstlin.
The bridge represents a significant example of 19th-century engineering methods, incorporating triangular frameworks that efficiently distribute loads across the structure.
Regular inspections and maintenance work ensure the bridge continues to support both regional and international train services crossing the Donaukanal.
The structure includes a separate narrow footpath, documented by Vienna's bridge authority under object number 0207 0.
