The hardware bridge is an important north -south connection of the inner-city Westtangente of Zurich. The 1350 m long bridge begins in the Zurich district Wipkingen, where she continued the Rosengartenstrasse and performs on the Limmat river. Then it leads to the S-Bahn station hardware bridge and continue on the track field in Vorbahnhof the main station. After the crossing the bridge ends at the Hard district at the Hard Place and goes into the hard road that leads to the Albisriederplatz. Daily train 70,000 vehicles over the bridge hardware.
Construction
Was built the hardware bridge in the years 1969 to 1972. During the years 2009-2011 the bridge was rehabilitated. The construction work is delayed due to objections by slightly more than two years were necessary, primarily because many heavy trucks - around ten percent of the traffic - the bridge have greatly added. But the security had to be increased, so that for example in Zugsentgleisungen no pillars and thus possibly the bridge to collapse.
Sections
Section Rosengartenstrasse - Escher- Wyss Platz
In this section the hardware bridge leads to a second level above the Wipkingerstrasse that crosses a bridge, the river Limmat. The lanes of the Wipkingerstrasse located to the left and right of the bridge hardware. Directly below the Hardbrucke the tracks of the tram line is on this section 13
There is a bus stop on the Escher -Wyss-Platz. Among currently the Escher -Wyss-Platz is completely redesigned. After the end of the renovation related to the new Tram Zurich West, a large tram crossing and a significantly reduced road crossing will be there. The tram stops lying until recently under the bridge, in the middle of a large roundabout, were the beginning of 2009 laid before the KV Zurich Limmat in the street. Exist at the level of Escher -Wyss-Platz exit ramps for both directions, but only one ramp (towards Rosengartenstrasse / Bucheggplatz ).
Section Escher- Wyss Platz - S-Bahn station Hardbrucke
In this section, the lanes of the road are hard left and right of the bridge hardware. Below the bridge are mostly parking. In the future, however, the route of the new Tram Zurich West is there to come to rest. In the southern part of the section to access ramps are located in both directions as well as an exit ramp from the north direction. On Hardbrucke S-Bahn station are also stops for the bus routes. The station is created perpendicular to the hardware bridge and is located at the northern end of the track field of the Zurich main train station.
Section S-Bahn station Hardbrucke - Hard Place
In this section, the bridge crosses the tracks of the main station, before it flows into the hard road at Hard Place. The railway crossing is the only bridge section on both sides of pedestrian walkways.
Public transportation
The total length of the bridge hardware is part of the distance of the two trolleybus lines 72 and 33 Several stops are located on the bridge. In Zurich Hardbrücke is a connection to the S- Bahn network. Another transportation hub is the Escher -Wyss-Platz. In the northern section are located under the bridge, the paths of the tram lines 4 and 13
Also planned is the construction of a tram line that crosses the track area of the railroad on the bridge hardware and thus as a tangential line offers a new connection in Zurich West.
