The Steyregger Bridge is a concrete bridge that crosses the Danube in the Upper Austrian capital of Linz.
The Steyregger Bridge is located immediately north/upstream of the older Steyregg railway bridge. On the Steyregger Ufer the distance between the centers of the bridge is around 75 meters, on the Linzer Ufer it is only 30 meters.[1]
It connects Linz in the west with Steyregg in the east of the Danube River, which flows south-southeast. It is part of Donau-Straße (B 3) and has 2×2 lanes that are separated from each other and from the side sidewalks and cycle paths by guardrails. On the Linzer Ufer, the B 3 separates the operating areas of the Linz Chemical Park from the voestalpine Hütten- und Stahlwerke.[1]
It was opened on September 12, 1979, after three years of construction. The first plans to build the road bridge were already in 1914.[1]
