Devil's bridge at the St. Gotthard pass (in German Teufelsbrucke) - is a bridge over the river Reuss in the Swiss canton of Uri.
The first bridge across the river was built in 1230. This was a wooden bridge. This meant that due to bad weather it had to be replaced often.
In the 16th century, it was replaced by a bridge of stone.
That stone bridge was heavily damaged in the Napoleonic wars in 1799. Nobody could use the bridge because of the damage.
Trade with Italy was done over the alpine pass at Splugen.

The first bridge was completely destroyed in a stormy night in 1888.
