Passerelle du Passage d'Agen, Suspension bridge in Agen, France.
The Passerelle du Passage d'Agen is a pedestrian bridge spanning 263 meters across the Garonne River, featuring modern steel suspension cables and an open walkway. Its design provides unobstructed views of the river and the landscape on both sides throughout the crossing.
The bridge was constructed in the early 2000s, marking a shift toward contemporary suspension engineering in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It improved access between the two banks and replaced older crossing methods.
The Passerelle serves as a central gathering point where locals regularly meet for riverside events and community celebrations throughout the year.
The bridge is open year-round with separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, featuring ramps for those with mobility limitations. It provides safe crossing between both banks for all visitors.
Four specially designed viewing platforms along the bridge allow people to observe the Garonne River's flow and the surrounding landscape from different angles.
