Trisanna Bridge

6551 Tobadill, A
Architecture: Waagner-Biró (1964) Builder-owner: ÖBB At the east end of the bridge Wiesberg castle dating back to the 13th century, below the bridge Wiesberg power station built around 1900.

Together with the construction of the Arlberg tunnel, the construction of the steel-lattice railway bridge across the Trisanna (1882–83) was the greatest technical achievement during the complete construction of the Arlberg railway. Two huge stone piers to which the stone viaduct-arches on both sides are connected support the steel lattice construction, which at the time was Europe’s second largest bridge. The bridge was reinforced in 1923 and replaced by a steel construction in 1964.
