Pontlatzer Brücke, Road bridge over the Inn in Fließ, Tyrol, Austria

The Pontlatzer Brücke is an iron arch bridge over the Inn between Fließ and Prutz, about 12 km south of Landeck. Its 1899 half-parabola truss has a clear span of 63 metres, most of it beneath the roadway. The bridge is a protected monument, but through traffic now uses the Reschenstraße on the right bank.

The Roman Via Claudia already crossed the Inn here, and a bridge was first documented in 1239 as Pontlaudesprukk, meaning bridge of Ladis. The present iron arch bridge dates from 1899, with a half-parabola truss of 63 metres clear span largely beneath the roadway. Until 1978 the bridge marked the official boundary between the judicial districts of Ried im Oberinntal and Landeck.

The name comes from "Pons de Laudes", the bridge of Ladis, recorded in 1239 as Pontlaudesprukk. At the bridge on the left bank stands a monument erected in 1904: a bronze eagle with spread wings and a flag in its talons, on a natural-stone base with a Madonna relief and the inscription "1703 – 1809". It is a protected monument.

The bridge is open to foot traffic and vehicle passage from the adjoining municipal areas. It is best viewed on foot from either bank of the river to appreciate both its construction and the surrounding valley landscape.

The bridge gave its name to the Pontlatz-Kaserne barracks in Landeck and to Pontlatzer Straße in Innsbruck. Until 1978 it also marked the official border between the judicial districts of Ried im Oberinntal and Landeck; the Ried side is still called Oberes Gericht.
