The Walulisobrücke is a pontoon bridge over the New Danube in Vienna's 22nd district, Donaustadt . It crosses the orographic left of the Danube at the level of Lobgrundstrasse and the New Danube to the left of the Danube Island and was opened in 1998 after a nine-month construction period. Together with the Freudenau power plant , it allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Danube and New Danube completely. Before high water is diverted over the New Danube and out of season (around the end of October to the beginning of April), the floating bodies are turned out in the direction of the New Danube, making the bridge impassable during this time. The same applies to the Ponte Cagrana (or Copa footbridge).
