Alte Rheinbrücke, Wooden international bridge in Vaduz, Liechtenstein and Sevelen, Switzerland.
The Alte Rheinbrücke stretches 135 meters across the Rhine River, featuring a covered walkway with traditional timber construction and metal reinforcements.
Constructed in 1901, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1871 that required multiple elevations due to Rhine River regulation projects.
The structure represents a significant example of Swiss-Liechtenstein engineering cooperation and holds protected status in both countries as a cultural monument.
The bridge serves pedestrians and cyclists exclusively, connecting the municipalities of Vaduz and Sevelen through a direct cross-border passage.
This structure remains the last surviving wooden bridge spanning the Rhine River, utilizing Howe's system of diagonal wooden elements and vertical metal tension members.
