St. Albanbrücke, Road bridge in Basel-Stadt, Switzerland
The St. Albanbrücke spans across the Rhine River, connecting different sections of Basel through a concrete and steel construction built for vehicles and pedestrians.
Inaugurated on April 2, 1955, this bridge represents the post-war development period when Basel expanded its transportation infrastructure to accommodate growing urban needs.
The bridge serves as a meeting point where residents gather to observe boat traffic and participate in seasonal river-related celebrations throughout the year.
The structure provides direct access between the medieval St. Alban district and the Schaffhauser Rheinweg, reducing travel time for daily commuters crossing the Rhine.
Engineers designed the bridge with specific reinforcement techniques that allow it to withstand strong river currents while maintaining structural integrity during peak water levels.
