Salah Bey Viaduct, Cable-stayed bridge in Constantine, Algeria
The Salah Bey Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the Rhumel River gorge at a considerable height above the valley floor. The structure features multiple traffic lanes and connects different parts of Constantine across the deep terrain.
Construction of the bridge began in September 2010 and was completed in July 2014, creating a new transportation route for Constantine. The project formed part of contemporary infrastructure developments that improved connectivity within the city.
The viaduct takes its name from Salah Bey, a historical figure from Constantine's past. Today, the structure stands as an everyday landmark that residents pass through regularly in their daily routines.
The viaduct forms part of the highway network and enables quick movement between different city areas. Visitors should note that traffic can be heavy during peak hours, and the best views of the gorge below are available from specific vantage points.
The bridge was designed by international engineering firms using specialized solutions to span the extreme depth of the valley. This technical approach made the project a reference point for similar construction efforts in the region.
