Rheinbrücke Zurzach–Rheinheim

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.

A Roman stone bridge probably stood here from the 1st century AD; wooden piles recovered in 1985 were dated to around 368 AD. A medieval bridge of the 13th century, likely rebuilt around 1250 under the Bishopric of Constance, collapsed after a flood in 1343, and ferries crossed until 1907. That year a steel truss bridge by Jakob Zuberbühler's initiative opened, after its wooden assembly scaffold fell in the flood of 21 May 1906.

The bridge is named after the road link between Bad Zurzach and Rheinheim. Its medieval predecessor, rebuilt around 1250 under the Bishopric of Constance, helped make Zurzach a fair town and a pilgrimage site of Saint Verena, whose statue now stands at mid-span on the downstream side.

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.

The 1977 renovation replaced the old truss with a steel-composite deck about 10 m wide, using 216 t of weather-resistant steel. At mid-span on the downstream side stands a figure of Saint Verena, the patron saint. The three spans measure 48.57 m, 59.36 m and 48.57 m, for a total length of 156.5 m.
