Grenobler Brücke, Bridge in Reichenau district, Innsbruck, Austria.
The Grenobler Bridge is a concrete structure that crosses the Inn River, linking the Reichenau district with the Olympic Village in Innsbruck. The bridge spans 98 meters and sits on reinforced concrete pillars that support its 20-meter width above the water.
Construction took place during low water conditions in winter 1973/74, with the structure completed by early May 1975. The official opening followed several months later that year.
The bridge takes its name from Grenoble, Innsbruck's partner city in France, reflecting a connection between the two places that locals recognize as part of the city's identity. This international tie remains visible through the naming that replaced the earlier local designation.
The bridge is straightforward to access and allows pedestrians and vehicles to cross the Inn without difficulty. Visitors should note that the location can be windy in poor weather, and views of the river are best from the bridge's sides.
At the northern end of the bridge stands a synthetic stone sculpture of a stylized angel created by artist Erich Keber. This artwork was placed in 1980 and adds an unexpected artistic touch to the crossing.
