Seitenhafenbrücke, Road bridge connecting Leopoldstadt and Simmering districts in Vienna, Austria.
The Seitenhafenbrücke is a road bridge in Vienna that crosses the Danube Canal and connects two districts on opposite sides. The structure carries vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists across the waterway with separate lanes for different users.
The bridge was built between 2010 and 2011 at a location where a road previously ended at the canal without crossing. This construction created the first direct connection between the two banks at this particular spot.
The bridge serves as a connection point between two distinct Vienna districts, facilitating movement between industrial areas and residential neighborhoods.
The bridge provides safe crossings for all types of traffic with dedicated pathways and roadways. When visiting the surrounding neighborhoods, it is easy to reach on foot or by bicycle.
The structure was specifically designed to better distribute heavy vehicle traffic from nearby industrial facilities. This makes it an important infrastructure hub in this part of Vienna.
