Hardturmviadukt, Railway bridge in Zürich, Switzerland
The Hardturmviadukt extends 1,126 meters across the industrial district of Zürich, crossing railway tracks, industrial areas, streets, two tram lines, and the Limmat River.
The bridge opened in 1969 as Switzerland's longest railway bridge, maintaining this status until 2015 when the Letzigrabenbrücke surpassed its length.
The structure represents a milestone in Swiss engineering, being Europe's longest prestressed concrete railway bridge in 1969 and the first worldwide to implement concrete hinges.
The bridge connects Oerlikon, Altstetten, and Zürich Hardbrücke stations through its Y-shaped layout, featuring both single and double-track sections for efficient rail transportation.
Since 2005, the Hardturmviadukt has been illuminated as part of the Plan Lumière initiative, serving as one of three pilot projects for urban lighting enhancement.
