Donaubrücke Tulln, Railway and road bridges in Tulln an der Donau, Austria
The Donaubrücke Tulln consists of two parallel structures spanning roughly 440 meters across the river, serving both railway and road traffic. Each bridge is designed for its specific purpose, with the railway section equipped with modern noise reduction systems.
A wooden bridge stood here from 1870 before being quickly replaced by an iron structure built for the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Bahn railway. The current form reflects comprehensive renovation that modernized the structure and adapted it to contemporary traffic needs.
The bridge connects communities on both sides of the Danube and has shaped the local landscape for more than 150 years. For residents and commuters, it is a daily part of life and essential to the region's movement of people and goods.
The bridge is generally accessible during daylight hours as a public connection serving both rail and road traffic. Visitors should be aware that pedestrian use is possible but requires attention to active traffic and vibrations from passing trains.
During renovation from 2008 to 2009, the railway track width had to be significantly increased to meet modern train standards. This adjustment reveals how such infrastructure must continually adapt to evolving technical requirements.
