Augartenbrücke, Steel road bridge in Leopoldstadt, Austria
The Augartenbrücke is a steel bridge that crosses the Danube Canal and connects Leopoldstadt with Vienna's ninth district. It carries four traffic lanes and joins Maria-Theresien-Strasse with Lower Augartenstrasse.
The bridge was built in 1873 using materials sourced internationally and became an established crossing over the canal. It was destroyed during World War II and then rebuilt, standing among the first bridges restored in Vienna after the war.
The bridge is used daily by locals and visitors crossing between two distinct neighborhoods. It holds a place in Viennese literary and urban history that people recognize when they pass through.
The bridge is open to both vehicle and foot traffic at all times, providing a direct route between the two districts. Visitors will notice peak crossing times in the early morning and evening as it serves as a main transit point.
The bridge suffered severe damage from bombing during World War II and required a complete rebuilding rather than simple repairs. This extensive reconstruction in the mid-1940s involved modern engineering techniques that gave it new structural stability before traffic resumed.
