The Wiesenrain Bridge (also known as the Rhine Bridge or the New Widnau Bridge, 410 m above sea level) in Lustenau, Wiesenrain or Widnau is a steel bridge that is a listed building in Austria and crosses the Alpine Rhine.

Motor vehicle traffic, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and the International Rhine Regulation service line cross the bridge on the same roadway. It is only used to a limited extent for the transport of goods on the International Rhine Regulation service line. The passage of trucks is restricted to vehicles up to 16 tonnes.

The bridge is simply known as the Rhine Bridge or, in reference to the Lustenau district of Wiesenrain, today mainly as the Wiesenrain Bridge. Previously also as the New Widnau Bridge.

In 1870, a Rhine ferry to Lustenau was set up near Widnau. This was replaced in 1875 by a covered wooden bridge, which in turn was replaced in 1914 by the steel truss bridge with a customs station that still exists today. …
