Pont du Diable sur la route St Gotthardt.--The Devil's Bridge on Mount St-Gotthardt in Canton Ury.

Original aquatint print engraved by wober.taken from an original drawing by Siraub, .. Showing :After the wars of coalitions, economic difficulties reigned in the canton of Uri. Due to lack of resources, the bridge and the path could no longer be renovated and traffic to the south became more and more diverted to the Spl?gen Pass . It was only in 1820 that a contract was established for the construction of a second bridge, which will be completed in 1830, after ten years of work. After the completion of the second bridge, the first bridge is abandoned. It finally collapsed on August 2, 1888. On the left bank, its foundations are still visible. In the middle of the 20TH Century, the second bridge became too narrow, in view of the ever increasing traffic, a third bridge, wider, extended tunnel, was built nearby between 1955 and 1956.
