Dreirosenbrücke, Double-decker truss bridge in Basel, Switzerland
The Dreirosenbrücke is a two-level truss bridge spanning the Rhine River with traffic separated on two distinct decks. The upper level carries cars and trams while the lower level serves pedestrians and cyclists.
The name comes from a nearby property called 'To the three roses' owned by the Iselin family, who displayed three white roses on their coat of arms. The bridge became an important crossing and has since shaped the connection between the two city districts.
The bridge links two distinct neighborhoods and creates a place where people naturally gather and interact. It plays a role in daily life for those moving between Kleinbasel and Grossbasel.
Walking or cycling is the best way to experience it, especially on the lower level which is free from cars and offers good views of the river. The upper level handles heavy tram traffic and can become congested during peak times.
This is the last Rhine crossing within Swiss territory, where the river forms the national border. This location gives it a special role in shaping border traffic routes between Switzerland and Germany.
