Luegbrücke

The Luegbrücke stretches 1804 meters across the Wipptal valley, forming a critical section of the Austrian Brenner motorway A 13 at 1300 meters altitude.

Engineers constructed this extensive highway bridge between 1966 and 1968, implementing modern design principles to connect the mountainous regions of the Brenner Pass.

The bridge represents a central element of Alpine infrastructure, connecting communities and facilitating movement through one of Europe's main north-south transit routes.

Starting in 2025, the bridge will operate with single-lane traffic in each direction due to necessary renovation work and structural maintenance requirements.

The structure requires specialized rockfall protection measures beneath its span due to the surrounding slopes that reach gradients of up to 50 degrees.
