Auguetbrucke

The Auguetbrucke is a bridge over the Aare between the municipalities of Muri bei Bern and Belp within the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. During the 18^th and at the start of the 19^th century, 4 ferries crossed the Aare river among Bern and Thun. Increasing freight traffic from neighborhood farms at the beginning of the nineteenth century necessitated a bridge within the Hunzigenau. Construction of the Hunzigenbrücke started out in the spring of 1835 and become finished by using the summer of 1836.

Construction of the N6 countrywide road via the Aare river valley required a connection to the cantonal highway between the districts of Konolfingen and Seftigen. This would have expanded the river crossing visitors beyond the vintage wood bridge's ability, so a brand new concrete bridge turned into built and after 136 years the wooden bridge became superfluous. After plenty discussion, the bridge was moved to Auguet. The bridge was renamed Auguetbrucke and opened to the public as a footbridge in 1974.

A commemorative plaque on the bridge reads "Hunzigenbrucke erbaut 1835 in der Hunzigenau. Versetzt und restauriert 1973-74 / Umbenannt in Auguetbrugg. Die Brucke steht unter dem Schutz des Bundes", or kind of translated "Hunzigen Bridge built in 1835 at the Hunzigenau. Moved and restored 1973-74 / Renamed Auguetbrugg. The bridge is underneath the safety of the Swiss Confederation".
