Traismauer Danube motorway bridge

The Traismauer Danube motorway bridge is a road bridge that crosses the river, linking the Stockerau expressway S5 with the S33 route toward St. Pölten. The structure features a main span and integrated pathways for cyclists and pedestrians.

The bridge opened on October 31, 2010, and replaced an older route system in the region. It created a direct highway connection from the Wine Quarter to St. Pölten and modernized local traffic infrastructure.

The bridge takes its name from St. George, referring to the former St. Georgen Monastery that once occupied this location. This name connects visitors to the religious heritage of the area and shapes how locals think about the crossing today.

The bridge is accessible to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, significantly improving traffic flow in the region. Visitors should note it is a busy traffic route best viewed from above or from the sides.

The main span stretches 356 meters and was built using prefabricated piers constructed at full height before being placed in the river. This construction method allowed for efficient and precise installation of the large structural pieces.
