Europabrücke

The Europabrücke spans 777 meters across the Wipp Valley, standing 190 meters above ground with a steel structure that connects north and south routes.

When it opened on November 17, 1963, the bridge marked a significant advancement in post-war European infrastructure, remaining Austria's highest bridge until 1974.

The name Europa Bridge symbolizes the connection between Germanic and Latin European regions, serving as a vital link between Germany and Italy through Austria.

The bridge carries the A13 Brenner Autobahn and European route E45, featuring a 24.6-meter-wide deck that accommodates heavy traffic flow through the Alpine region.

The bridge's longest span measures 198 meters between supports, while its total structure requires specialized maintenance due to exposure to Alpine weather conditions.
