Jörg-Haider-Brücke, Road bridge in Ruden, Austria

The Jörg-Haider-Brücke spans 455 meters across the Drava River, connecting Ruden and Bleiburg with a combined roadway and bicycle path system.

Originally named Lippitzbach Bridge, this structure opened in December 2005 and received its current name in January 2009 after the former Governor of Carinthia.

The bridge features a two-and-a-half-meter bronze statue of Saint John of Nepomuk, positioned at its center as the bridge's patron saint.

The bridge connects the Petzen ski area and Bleiburg to the A2 Southern Motorway, providing a direct route between Vienna and Italy.

The construction required 18,500 cubic meters of concrete and 2,000 tons of steel, completing six months ahead of schedule without any accidents.
