Grenzbrücke Weil am Rhein–Basel

The border bridge stretches 1476 meters across multiple transport routes, connecting the German A5 motorway with the Swiss A2 motorway at Basel.

The bridge construction occurred from 1976 to 1979, following a bilateral agreement between Germany and Switzerland to establish an international highway connection.

The structure represents a major transportation link between two nations, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the Rhine river border region.

Daily traffic volume reaches 32,905 vehicles, with heavy goods vehicles accounting for 6.8 percent of total bridge crossings according to 2019 measurements.

The bridge spans over railway lines, harbor facilities, and border streets while describing an eastern curve that connects to Basel's northern tangent.
