Eglisau railway bridge

Both ends of the bridge lie within the municipality of Eglisau and the canton of Zurich.

The principal span comprises a 90 metres (300 ft) long and 9 metres (30 ft) high iron truss bridge.

[1] Several natural stone masonry approaches with piers up to 50m in height lead to the bridge from the north and south of the steel truss.

Several joints of the truss girder were also strengthened using post-tensioned bolts, and the steel elements were entirely repainted for corrosion protection.

An engineering study in 2013 confirmed an additional service duration of at least 50 years for the bridge.
