Rhine bridge Hard–Fußach

The Rhine bridge Hard-Fußach spans 255.6 meters across the Alpine Rhine, connecting the municipalities of Hard and Fußach with two traffic lanes and dedicated paths.

The construction of the new bridge began in June 2020 to replace the original 1970s structure, addressing critical flood protection requirements identified by International Rhine Regulation.

The bridge design incorporates space for the Rheinbähnle museum railway underneath the structure on the Hard side, preserving local transport heritage.

The modern structure features separate lanes for buses, pedestrians, and cyclists, with paths measuring three and five meters in width for enhanced mobility.

Construction phases occur primarily during winter months due to the specific conditions of the Rhine floodplain, with three piers positioned in the river foreshore.
