Bahnhofbrücke Zürich

About

Bahnhofbrücke (lit. 'railway station bridge') is a road and tramway bridge over the river Limmat in Zurich, Switzerland.

Geography: Bahnhofbrücke means 'railway station bridge' in German, referring to the adjacent main railway station of Zurich which is situated outside of the city's historical core of the medieval town. The bridge crosses the left-hand (western) and right-hand (eastern) bank of the Limmat, opposite of Zürich Hauptbahnhof (Zürich HB) and Platzspitz park, and connects them with the Central square, Limmatquai and the City and Unterstrass quarters.

Transportation: The Zurich tram lines 3, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 15, and the local VBZ bus lines 31, 33, 34 and 46 provide public transportation, as well as Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (ZSG) and its Limmat tour boats towards Zürichhorn and Landesmuseum. Private road transport towards Limmatquai, the largest pedestrian zone of Zurich, is restricted to the short roadway towards the Brunbrücke and Uraniastrasse (Urania Sternwarte) at the site of the former Oetenbach nunnery; and also road transport between Central–Bahnhofbrücke and the Bahnhofquai and Bahnhofplatz squares is allowed.
