Jedleseer Bridge, Cable-stayed footbridge in Floridsdorf, Austria.
Jedleseer Bridge is a cable-stayed footbridge crossing the New Danube Canal and connecting two areas of Vienna's 21st district. The structure relies on central pylons with cables fanning outward to support the pedestrian deck across the waterway.
Built in 1983, the bridge was constructed to improve pedestrian connections between different neighborhoods in Floridsdorf. It formed part of a broader infrastructure effort to enhance connectivity across Vienna's residential districts.
The bridge structure represents a period of urban planning that prioritized pedestrian mobility and social connections between residential communities.
The crossing can be accessed from several points and serves daily foot traffic between residential areas of the district. The ramps and pathways are designed to accommodate different walking abilities, making it usable for pedestrians of all ages.
The bridge employs a pronounced fan pattern in its support cables, distinguishing it from standard pedestrian crossings and creating a distinctive visual landmark in the area. This geometric arrangement makes the structure recognizable from a distance.
