The Old bridge (1901) over the Rhine in Vaduz, Liechtenstein
The "Alte Rheinbrücke" is a covered wooden bridge linking the municipalities of Vaduz and Sevelen. Measuring 135 meters in length, it was completed in 1901 and is today the only remaining wooden bridge spanning the Rhine. Another wooden bridge was, in fact, erected at the same spot 30 years earlier. However, this required rebuilding due to damage caused by the bridge being raised on two separate occasions while work was being carried out redirecting the Rhine. After the dam in Schaan broke in 1927, the bridge was raised once again. The bridge, which has a wooden roof, was renovated between 2009 and 2010. Motor vehicles are not permitted to use the bridge, making it particularly popular with cyclists.
