Johanniterbrücke, Road bridge in Basel-Stadt, Switzerland

The Johanniterbrücke spans across the Rhine River, connecting two sections of Basel through its iron construction and double traffic lanes.

Constructed in 1882, this iron bridge became the third crossing point over the Rhine in Basel and received tram tracks in 1924.

The bridge name references the Knights Hospitaller who maintained a strong presence in Basel during the medieval period.

Multiple tram lines, pedestrian walkways, and cycling paths make the bridge accessible for different transportation modes throughout the day.

The structure provides direct access to St. Johanns-Tor, one of three remaining medieval city gates from Basel's original fortification walls.
