Johanniterbrücke

Johanniterbrücke, Road bridge in Basel-Stadt, Switzerland

The Johanniterbrücke is a prestressed concrete beam road bridge over the Rhine in Basel, the city's third-oldest Rhine crossing. Built 1965–1967 beside the old iron bridge and slid onto two new river piers, it has a main span of 137.3 metres. It carries road traffic, pedestrians and cyclists, but no trams; trolleybus wires crossed it from 1968 to 2004.

Built in 1882, it became the third Rhine crossing in Basel. Tram tracks were added in 1924, making it a key hub for public transportation.

The bridge takes its name from the Johanniter order, whose commandery stood on the Kleinbasel bank near the bridgehead. The 1882 opening was decided by a popular vote in June 1877, and the crossing has linked Kleinbasel with the Grossbasel side ever since.

The bridge carries road traffic, pedestrians and cyclists; trams no longer cross it, though trolleybus overhead wires ran here from 1968 to 2004. The deck is reached from both banks and leads toward the St. Johanns-Tor on the Kleinbasel side. The main span over the river measures 137.3 metres.

At one end of the bridge stands St. Johanns-Tor, one of only three surviving medieval gates from Basel's original city walls. It now sits as a relic next to the modern crossing, marking where the old fortification once stood.
