Pont Charles de Gaulle, Road bridge in Dinant, Belgium
The Charles de Gaulle Bridge extends 54 meters across the Meuse River, featuring two 3-meter wide pedestrian walkways on each side of the structure.
Lieutenant Charles de Gaulle sustained a leg injury at this location during the Battle of Dinant on August 15, 1914, while leading his regiment against German forces.
The bridge displays several giant saxophone sculptures as part of Dinant's Art on Sax exhibition, honoring local inventor Adolphe Sax who created the instrument.
This concrete structure serves as a central crossing point in Dinant, connecting both banks of the Meuse River for vehicles and pedestrians since its inauguration in 1953.
The current bridge represents the seventh version of crossings built at this location, with historical records suggesting bridge construction dates back to the 9th century.
