Niederranna Danube bridge, Road bridge over the Danube between Wesenufer and Niederranna, Upper Austria, Austria
The Donaubrücke Niederranna is a 319-metre road bridge, 13.5 metres wide, carrying the B 130 Nibelungen Straße between Wesenufer in the Innviertel and Niederranna in the Mühlviertel. Its steel-composite deck spans the Danube in three fields of 91, 137 and 91 metres, with webs 7.5 metres apart. It is the only Danube bridge on the 65 km stretch between Passau and Aschach.
The bridge was built in 1980 during a period of modern infrastructure expansion in Upper Austria. It represents engineering developments from that era for crossing major rivers.
The bridge forms an integral part of the regional transportation network, connecting different communities along the Danube and supporting local economic activities.
The bridge provides a safe crossing for all vehicle types and is part of the main traffic route across the Danube. Visitors should know that this is a functional structure with regular traffic flow.
The bridge carries the Rupertiweg, an Austrian long-distance hiking trail, across the Danube. It is the only Danube crossing in the 65 km of the Upper Danube valley between Passau and Aschach, so hikers and cyclists share the structure with road traffic.
