Talferbrücke, Steel bridge in Bolzano, Italy
The Talferbrücke is a steel bridge in Bolzano that spans the Talfer River with five arches made of steel framework. The structure allows both vehicle traffic and pedestrians to cross, connecting important areas of the city.
The structure was built between 1899 and 1900 and replaced an older wooden structure from the 14th century. A comprehensive renovation in the 1990s modernized the bridge for current needs.
The bridge links two different neighborhoods and is used daily by locals to move between districts. It shapes the city's appearance and is part of the everyday traffic rhythm in Bolzano.
The crossing is straightforward on foot and leads directly over the river without detours. Visitors will find a stable route for both pedestrians and vehicles in a central area of the city.
The bridge serves as the venue for an annual running race where participants follow paths across meadows and along the river banks. This event draws athletes and spectators from the surrounding region.
