The following is a modified Google Translation of the German Wikipedia entry for the Salztorbrücke:
"Salztorbrucke crosses the Danube Canal in Vienna and connects the districts of Inner City and Leopold city.
The Salztorbrucke was the last of the war-damaged Danube canal bridges to be replaced, which in 1960-1961 was rebuilt as a prestressed concrete bridge, to a design by Herbert Wycital. On November 25, 1961 the Vice Mayor Felix Slavik opened the bridge."
A marker on the bridge reads:
