Intschireussbrücke
The Intschireussbrücke is a Gotthard Railway bridge over the Reuss in the canton of Uri , southwest of Amsteg near Intschi .
The first Intschireuss bridge was a steel truss structure , which was reinforced in 1908 with a fish-belly girder as a beam . Since the new construction in 1975, today's bridge has consisted of two single-track concrete box girders, each supported by two supports. It can also be used by pedestrians.
It is the highest railway bridge between Immensee and Chiasso . With a length of 121 m, the newly built bridge crosses the Reuss at the Gotthard Railway kilometer 49.244 and at the Intschitunnel II of the Gotthard motorway A2 at a height of 77 m.
