Rheinbrücke Stein am Rhein, Road bridge in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland
Description
Rheinbrücke Stein am Rhein is a concrete bridge that crosses the Rhine River and connects the two sides of this small town. The structure rises across the water with a straightforward modern design and carries both vehicle traffic and pedestrians between the riverbanks.
History
The bridge was built between 1972 and 1974 and replaced older structures that had crossed the river at this location. A wooden bridge that stood here from at least 1267 served earlier generations before being replaced by this modern concrete version.
Culture
The bridge marks the exact point where the Rhine section of Lake Constance transforms into the High Rhine, a significant geographical boundary.
Practical
The crossing is easy to walk and provides sidewalks on both sides for safe passage. It handles daily car traffic and remains open year-round for all visitors.
Did you know?
The structure was designed with a 6 percent slope toward its center and built at a navigational height of 3.6 meters above the water. This precise engineering allows river boats to pass safely underneath.
