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.

Built in 1899–1900 by the Waagner-Biro firm under Mayor Julius Perathoner, the bridge replaced a 140-metre wooden structure on stone piers that had linked Gries and Bozen since the early 19th century. It opened on 5 November 1900 in the presence of governor Franz von Merveldt. Trams crossed it from 1907 to 1948; closed in 1975, it reopened in 1990 after restoration.

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 appears on many postcards of Bozen. From 1907 to 1948 the city tram crossed it. After 1975 overload forced closure; a citizens' initiative blocked demolition, and after restoration it reopened to traffic in 1990.
