Rheinbrücke Zurzach–Rheinheim, Road bridge between Switzerland and Germany in Aargau, Switzerland.
The Rheinbrücke Zurzach-Rheinheim is a road bridge connecting the Swiss community of Zurzach with the German town of Rheinheim across the Rhine River. It carries two traffic lanes and has pedestrian paths on both sides.
The bridge was built in 1907, replacing ferry services that had operated across the river at this location for centuries. Roman crossings also existed here in ancient times.
The bridge displays a statue of Saint Verena at its center, representing the regional religious heritage and connecting Swiss and German communities.
The crossing is accessible for vehicles and pedestrians during daylight hours and directly links the road networks of both countries. Be aware of different traffic rules when crossing between Switzerland and Germany.
During the 1970s, the original steel structure was replaced with a modern composite steel design that reinforced the bridge. This renovation was necessary to maintain structural integrity for increasing traffic.
