Kagraner Brücke, Bauwerk in Österreich
The Kagraner Brücke is a concrete structure crossing the Alte Donau in Vienna, connecting the districts of Kagran and Kaisermühlen. It features eight welded steel beams supporting a wide concrete deck designed to handle cars, streetcars, and pedestrians.
The original bridge was destroyed during the Second World War, rebuilt in 1945, and finally replaced in 1977 with a new structure. The new construction was necessary as traffic between the districts increased and the city required modernization.
The bridge links two districts and serves as part of daily life for many Vienna residents. Streetcars, pedestrians, and cyclists cross it regularly, making it a point where different neighborhoods meet and people connect.
The bridge is easily accessible from the Alte Donau U-Bahn station and offers clear pathways for pedestrians and cyclists. It is best explored during dry weather when the bridge and surrounding paths are most comfortable to use.
The bridge was featured in engineering publications of Austrian architects and engineers, highlighting its importance to Vienna's infrastructure. Its regular maintenance demonstrates how thoughtfully designed structures can endure for decades while serving the city's needs.
