Sihlhochstrasse, Bridge in Zürich, Switzerland

The Sihlhochstrasse bridge extends 1250 meters across the Sihl River, connecting the Brunau district to Wiedikon with six lanes for vehicular traffic.

The bridge construction took place between 1969 and 1973, using advanced engineering techniques including prestressed concrete and mobile formwork systems.

The concrete structure represents Swiss engineering precision with its hollow box design and systematic placement of support piers every 42.4 meters.

The bridge carries the A3W expressway and includes multiple underpasses, making it a central component of Zürich's transportation infrastructure.

The expressway abruptly ends at a retaining wall on the roadway deck, as the planned extension of the Zürcher express highway remained incomplete.
