Mauthausen Danube bridge, Road bridge between Mauthausen and Sankt Pantaleon-Erla, Austria.
The Mauthausen Danube bridge is a steel structure that spans the river and connects the two municipalities on either side. It features two traffic lanes and carries vehicles across the water in both directions.
The current bridge dates to 1962 and replaced an older wooden structure that had served this crossing for centuries. This construction marked a significant shift to modern transportation infrastructure in the region.
The bridge forms part of the Danube cycle path network, where cyclists from different regions gather to explore the Austrian riverbank landscapes.
The bridge sits near two railway stations and serves as a key crossing point for local traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the structure to move between the municipalities.
Situated 2,111 kilometers from the Danube's mouth, the bridge offers direct access to cycling routes on both northern and southern banks of the river.
