Kennedybrücke, Dual-purpose bridge in Hietzing, Vienna, Austria
The Kennedybrücke stretches across the Wien River, providing dedicated lanes for both tram transportation and regular vehicular traffic in the Austrian capital.
The bridge officially opened on September 11, 1964, marking a substantial advancement in Vienna's transportation infrastructure during the post-war development period.
Named to commemorate President John F. Kennedy, the bridge reflects the strong Austrian-American relations of the early 1960s through its architectural presence.
The structure connects multiple districts while accommodating thousands of daily commuters through integrated pathways for vehicles, trams, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Architect Fritz Pfeffer designed this bridge as part of the Wien River crossing network, incorporating specific engineering elements for both public and private transport.
