Pont du Garigliano, Steel bridge in western Paris, France.
The Pont du Garigliano is a steel bridge that stretches about 200 meters across the Seine, connecting the neighborhoods of Auteuil and Javel. The structure rises about 18 meters and was designed specifically to accommodate buses, bicycles, and pedestrians.
The bridge was built between 1963 and 1966 and replaced an older viaduct that once handled both railway and vehicle traffic on separate levels. Its construction reflected a shift toward modern road transport and growing mobility needs in the city.
The bridge serves as a daily passage for locals between two distinct neighborhoods, with visible use by cyclists and public transport users who move through this area regularly.
Access is convenient from both sides with designated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists as well as a dedicated bus lane. The bridge is busiest during peak hours when commuters cross between the neighborhoods.
A striking telephone sculpture by renowned architect Frank Gehry from 2006 stands at one end of the crossing. This installation gives the bridge an artistic character beyond its practical role in the city.
