Rheinbrücke Rheinau–Altenburg, Wooden road bridge in Zürich, Switzerland
The Rheinbrücke Rheinau-Altenburg spans the Rhine River with a length of 80 meters and a width of 4.3 meters, connecting the municipalities of Rheinau and Altenburg.
The initial bridge at this location dates back to 1324, serving as a connection for Rheinau Monastery to access its lands on the northern bank of the Rhine.
The entrance on the Swiss side features a sculpture of Saint John Nepomuk, installed in 1732, representing the traditional protection of bridges in the region.
The bridge maintains a maximum load capacity of 8 tons and includes three support fields with a triple truss system for efficient load distribution.
The structure combines covered wooden architecture with stone abutments on both sides, representing one of the few remaining pile bridge designs in Switzerland.
