Poya Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Fribourg, Switzerland.
The Poya Bridge extends over 851 meters across the Sarine River, with two pylons reaching heights of 107 and 90 meters respectively.
The bridge construction started in October 2008 after decades of planning since 1959, with its official inauguration taking place on October 12, 2014.
The structure connects the French and German speaking regions of Fribourg while protecting the medieval center from heavy traffic congestion.
Three separate lanes accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, with speed limits set at 60 kilometers per hour on the bridge section.
The bridge incorporates noise reduction covers and maintains a height of 70 meters above the Saanen Valley floor throughout its span.
