Hochrheinbrücke Laufenburg, Road bridge between Laufenburg, Switzerland and Laufenburg, Germany
The Hochrheinbrücke stretches 225 meters across the Rhine River, connecting the Swiss and German sides of Laufenburg with a prestressed concrete structure.
The bridge, completed in December 2004, replaced an older crossing to reduce traffic congestion in the medieval sections of both Laufenburg municipalities.
This connection represents the shared heritage between the Swiss and German Laufenburg communities, which were originally one town until Napoleon divided them in 1800.
The bridge serves as a primary transit route for vehicles and pedestrians, providing direct access between the two countries at coordinates 47.5618°N and 8.07477°E.
During construction, engineers encountered a 54-centimeter height difference between both sides due to different sea level measurement standards in Switzerland and Germany.
