The Grimselsee Bridge is part of the "KWO plus" project which consists to raise by 23 metres (75ft) the water level of the Grimsel Lake, to increase the power capacity of the two Spittellamm and Seeuferegg damns. The part of the road between Guttannen and Obergoms flooded by the project will be span by a 346 metres (1,135ft) cable-stayed bridge, to restore the continuity across the lake.[14][15]
In 2021 a competition was organized to choose the project for the Plessur river valley crossing near Chur in the Grisons canton, in order to relieve the road traffic of the city center.[16] Among a total of 41 projects submitted, the winner is called "un solo arco" (only one arch), it proposes a steel arch with a 340 metres (1,120ft) main span, more than 100 metres (330ft) above the river.[17] This bridge will be named the St. Luzi Bridge[de].
This table presents the structures with spans greater than 100 meters (non-exhaustive list).
↑ The Tamina Bridge is the highest arch bridge in Switzerland and in whole Europe with a 200 metres (660ft) high deck above the river.[20] In 2022, the current highest arch bridge in the world is the Chenab Rail Bridge in India crossing a valley 362 metres (1,188ft) above the river.[21]
↑ The length given only takes into account the main bridge, central span(s) and shore span(s), approach viaducts are not counted.
