Rathausbrücke

Rathausbrücke is a concrete bridge crossing the Limmat River in Zürich, linking the city's neighborhoods on both sides. It accommodates vehicle traffic and pedestrians with a straightforward, functional design.

The structure was built in 1893 as an important infrastructure development for Zürich. It underwent major reconstruction work in 1973 to accommodate changing urban needs.

The bridge functions as a natural gathering spot where locals pause while crossing, offering a vantage point to observe the historic buildings and river activity below.

Multiple tram and bus lines pass through regularly, making it a reliable transit corridor during the day. Crossing outside peak hours offers a more comfortable experience.

The bridge connects two district neighborhoods that developed separately and maintain distinct characters. Crossing it reveals how the river historically divided the city's growth into different areas.
