Hardbrücke, Road bridge in Industriequartier, Zürich, Switzerland.
The Hardbrücke extends 1,350 meters across the Sihl River, railway tracks, and multiple roads, connecting the northern and southern parts of Zürich.
Built between 1969 and 1972, this concrete structure replaced an earlier truss bridge from 1897 that previously linked Hardplatz with Pfingstweidstrasse.
The bridge and surrounding area transformed from an industrial zone into a district with nightlife venues, urban gardens, and spaces for creative industries.
The structure accommodates 70,000 vehicles daily, features tram lines installed between 2015 and 2017, and provides separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge intersects with Wipkingerbrücke at different levels, creating a multi-tiered transport system above the river and railway infrastructure.
