Teufelsbrücke Gotthardstraße crossing the Reuss River 26-10-2011 Schöllenenschlucht Kanton Uri, CH

The 110 kilometer long Gotthardstraße is the Apls crossing road between the villiges Altdorf und Biasca. On this image the second and third Devils Bridge. The first bridge on this spot was made around 1230. In the 16th century, the bridge was rebuilt in cut stone, referred to today as the "first bridge". In 1799, it was the site of one of the most dramatic battles of Suvorov's Italian and Swiss expedition during the Napoleonic Wars. The bridge was heavily damaged by the retreating French army. Work on replacement cut stone bridge began in 1820. Construction of a one-lane "second bridge" took 10 years. The two-lane "third bridge" was built in 1958. Nowadays, however, the majority of traffic travels via either the Gotthard Rail Tunnel (opened in 1881) or the Gotthard Road Tunnel (opened in 1980). Another rail tunnel, the new 56 kilometer Gotthard Base Tunnel is expected to open in 2016. (some Wiki)

Èven the Romans new this pass as various coins have been found. But some 2000 years ago this pass was just a summer walking path, absolutely no bridges, dangerous in winter ..... Legioniars walked this route spreading into Europe; state structure, architecture, language, writing, history , accounting, money, rabbits, cooking, aspergues, central heathing, hot baths, fresh water supply and many more.
