Laufen bridge, Arch bridge in Laufenburg, Switzerland and Germany

The Laufen Bridge spans 90 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the Swiss canton of Aargau with Baden-Württemberg through a stone arch structure.

Built in 1911 to replace an 1810 wooden structure, the bridge represents a period of infrastructure development between Switzerland and Germany along the Rhine.

The bridge holds regional significance as a Class B Swiss cultural property, forming part of the cultural heritage list of Laufenburg's historical structures.

The structure carries both pedestrian and vehicle traffic between the two Laufenburg towns, operating with a single lane system for motorized transport.

Engineer Robert Maillart designed this border-crossing bridge using advanced construction techniques that demonstrated excellence in early 20th-century civil engineering.
