Danube city bridge

The Danube City Bridge extends 741 meters across the Danube River with steel construction and cable-stayed design incorporating six traffic lanes and railway tracks.

The bridge opened in March 1997 as part of Vienna's infrastructure development, connecting Mexikoplatz in Leopoldstadt with Donauinsel in Donaustadt district.

The structure, designed by architect Wilhelm Holzbauer, represents modern engineering solutions while maintaining integration with Vienna's urban transportation network.

The bridge carries approximately 50,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated U-Bahn tracks, footpaths, cycle paths, and utility tunnels beneath the surface.

With its 186-meter main span and 10-meter width, the bridge combines four distinct construction types: girder, steel, railway, and cable-stayed designs.
