Three countries bridge

The Three Countries Bridge (German: Dreiländerbrücke, French: La passerelle des Trois Pays) is an arch bridge that crosses the Rhine between Huningue (Fr) and Weil am Rhein (De) within the Basel metropolitan.

It is the world's longest single-span bridge only allowed for pedestrians and cyclists. Length is 248 mtr. and its main span is 229.4 mtr.

Her name comes from the bridge's location near the tripoint CHDEFR at about 200 metres distance. It was designed by architect Dietmar Feichtinger.

The first crossing at this place was built for Huningue Castle and was destroyed by French troops in 1797.

The Three Countries Bridge is located at the place where, on 20 October 1944, the Huningue pontoon bridge was destroyed by Allied bombs.

From then until the opening of Palmrainbrücke for road vehicles in 1979, the German Hw 532 ended at this point with a car ferry crossing.
