The Rapperswil
Seedamm is the artificial causeway at the narrowest area of
Lake Zurich 
between
Hurden 
(SZ) and Rapperswil (SG). The structure contains two bridge segments and is approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) long. The Seedamm carries a road (
Hauptstrasse 8) and a railway across the lake, with the railway being used by the S5 and S40 services of Zurich S-Bahn and by Südostbahn's Voralpen Express.
The Melide causeway across a narrow section at
Lake Lugano 
is comparable to the Seedamm.
Geography and location
The Seedamm connects the Swiss cantons of Schwyz (Hurden) and St. Gallen (Rapperswil).
