Three Countries Bridge

The Three Countries Bridge spans 248 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the German town of Weil am Rhein with the French commune of Huningue.

Following the destruction of earlier crossings, including a pontoon bridge bombed in 1944, this modern steel structure opened on March 30, 2007.

The bridge stands as a symbol of European integration, connecting communities from France, Germany, and Switzerland at their geographical meeting point.

Pedestrians and cyclists can access multiple walking paths and cycling routes from both sides of the bridge, with numerous parking areas nearby.

The bridge received the 2008 German Bridge Construction Prize for its innovative steel design, featuring a 238-meter main span and rising 24.75 meters above water.
