Eisenbahnbrücke Basel, Railway bridge in Basel, Switzerland
The Eisenbahnbrücke spans 240 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the right bank to the Swiss Federal Railway Station on the left side.
The first railway bridge, constructed in 1873, featured a single-track lattice beam design that required multiple reinforcements due to increasing traffic demands.
The bridge serves as a central component of Basel's transportation network, facilitating railway connections between Switzerland and neighboring European countries.
The current structure, completed in 2012, incorporates a pedestrian pathway alongside the railway tracks, enabling both train and foot traffic across the Rhine.
The bridge operates within a complex customs arrangement, connecting Swiss territory while facilitating international rail transport between multiple European nations.
