Aussersihler Viadukt, Railway bridge in Zürich-West, Switzerland.
The Aussersihler Viadukt is a railway bridge in Zürich-West with 36 stone arches that characterize its appearance. The structure spans a considerable distance and connects different parts of the city for rail transport.
Construction of the viaduct began in 1875 and was completed in 1894 to meet the city's growing transportation needs. The railway connection was an important step in developing Zürich's infrastructure during that period.
The spaces beneath the arches serve as a marketplace where local vendors sell regional goods and products. This area has become a gathering place for people shopping for local items or passing through daily.
The viaduct is easily reached on foot from downtown and sits in an accessible area of Zürich-West. The space beneath the arches is active during daytime hours and provides good access for viewing the structure and exploring the market below.
The viaduct was damaged during World War II but remained in service and continues to carry trains today. This durability shows the solid construction quality from the 19th century.
