Steinitzsteg Footbridge, Pedestrian bridge in Vienna, Austria
The Steinitzsteg footbridge extends 875 meters across the Danube River and New Danube Canal, featuring 20 spans and steel hollow box construction methods.
Built in 1995, the bridge temporarily carried vehicle traffic during the Nordbrücke renovation in 1996 before converting to pedestrian and bicycle use.
The bridge received its name in 2009 to honor Wilhelm Steinitz, with a commemorative plaque installed in 2010 recognizing the chess champion.
The structure maintains a width of 9 meters throughout its length, allowing simultaneous passage of pedestrians and cyclists between Brigittenau and Floridsdorf districts.
The bridge design allows quick conversion to vehicular traffic, scheduled for implementation during the 2028-2031 Nordbrücke renovation project.
