Quaibrücke, Road bridge in central Zürich, Switzerland
The Quaibrücke spans across the Limmat River at Lake Zürich's outflow, connecting Bürkliplatz and Bellevueplatz with dedicated lanes for vehicles, trams, and pedestrians.
The bridge construction started in 1880 under Arnold Bürkli's management and officially opened on January 1, 1885, as part of Zürich's infrastructure modernization project.
The bridge design by Emil Schmid-Kerez reflects late 19th-century engineering methods, incorporating concrete structures that shaped Zürich's transportation development.
Quaibrücke serves as a central transportation hub with two tram tracks, multiple vehicle lanes, and wide sidewalks facilitating daily movement across the Limmat River.
During World War II, two machine gun bunkers were installed on the bridge, remaining at their original locations as historical markers of Swiss defensive preparations.
