Aspernbrücke, Steel girder bridge in Leopoldstadt district, Austria.
Aspernbrücke is a steel girder bridge that spans the Danube Canal between Vienna's inner city and the Leopoldstadt district. The structure carries car traffic, public transit lines, and dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
Construction started in 1949 as part of Vienna's post-war reconstruction efforts, with the bridge opening in 1951. It was designed to restore vital infrastructure connections in the damaged city.
The bridge structure represents mid-20th century Austrian engineering methods, incorporating design elements that reflect the period's architectural preferences in Vienna.
The bridge experiences peak traffic during daytime hours when cars, trams, and cyclists all share the space together. The pedestrian section is clearly marked and remains safe to cross even when vehicle traffic is heavy.
The bridge was built without support columns in the middle of the canal, creating an unusually long single span for its era. This design choice kept shipping passages clear below while avoiding additional obstruction.
