Water Gate Bridge

Introducing Water Gate Bridge

Located in Lucerne, Switzerland, next to the Spreuer Bridge, the Water Gate Bridge is a unique landmark constructed using ancient engineering techniques. Built to regulate water levels and still in use today, the bridge, with its gratings inserted or raised above the water, is a unique hydraulic control feature used to regulate the water level of Lake Lucerne. The bridge showcases the ingenuity of its builders. Visitors often visit at sunset to watch the sunset glow.
