Philadelphiabrücke, Prestressed concrete bridge in Meidling district, Vienna, Austria.
The Philadelphiabrücke spans 41.5 meters across the Southern Railway line, connecting Meidlinger Hauptstrasse with Breitenfurter Strasse at Schedifkaplatz.
Following three previous constructions at this location, the current Philadelphiabrücke opened on October 2, 1978, replacing an aging structure from 1910.
The bridge received its name from an 1838 steam locomotive manufactured in Philadelphia, reflecting early industrial connections between Austria and America.
The structure serves as a central transportation hub, accommodating tram lines 62, the Vienna-Baden light rail, and multiple bus routes including 7A and N8.
The bridge maintains a width of 36.8 meters throughout its span, making it particularly suitable for multiple traffic lanes and public transportation systems.
