Rheinbrücke Eglisau, Arch bridge in Eglisau, Switzerland.
The Rheinbrücke Eglisau spans across the Rhine River with three concrete arches, each measuring 40.7 meters in width and reaching a total length of 130 meters.
Following the destruction of several wooden bridges dating back to 1240, the current structure was constructed between 1914 and 1918, opening for traffic in September 1919.
The bridge represents a connection point between communities in the Bülach District, facilitating interactions and exchanges between residents of different municipalities in Zürich canton.
The structure accommodates two traffic lanes, a bicycle path, and a pedestrian walkway, serving approximately 26,400 vehicles crossing the Rhine River daily as recorded in 2013.
The bridge foundations extend 30 meters below the road surface through caisson construction, ensuring stability against the strong currents of the Rhine River.
