location

The Ponte Cagrana is a pontoon bridge over the New Danube in the 22nd district of Vienna, Donaustadt . It is located a little north-west - i.e. on the upstream side - of the Reichsbrücke on the "Copa Cagrana" and crosses the New Danube to the left of the Danube and Danube Island , on the left bank of which are the restaurants of the "Copa Cagrana". The bridge was opened in 2000 instead of the previous floating bridge.

For the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna, the bridge was renovated and equipped with boards of all previous Eurovision winners.

Barrier-free access to the Ponte Cagrana is possible via the stepless bridgeheads. The middle part of the bridge, which otherwise consists of floating bodies, is a jetty raised towards the middle, which allows boats, surfers and swimmers to pass under. Before flooding is discharged via the New Danube and out of season (around the end of October to the beginning of April), the floats are rotated in the direction of the New Danube, making the bridge impassable during this time (the same applies to the Waluliso Bridge ).
