Autobahnraststätte Pratteln, Highway bridge restaurant in Pratteln, Switzerland
The 100-meter-long highway bridge spans across six lanes and contains two restaurants plus a shopping area with 15 stores covering 1850 square meters.
The Basel architecture firm Casoni & Casoni designed this structure, which opened on October 26, 1978, following delays caused by the 1973 oil crisis.
The building received designation as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional importance, featuring 56 distinctive porthole windows in its architectural design.
The facility serves approximately 115,000 vehicles daily, with three million vehicles making stops annually, providing fuel services and generating 60 million Swiss francs in revenue.
In 2000, Cuban artist Jorge Pardo transformed the original orange-brown facade into yellow-orange, using glass-fiber reinforced polyester resin as the primary material.
