Pont métallique sur l'Adour, Metal bridge in Cazères-sur-l'Adour, France.
The Pont métallique sur l'Adour is a metal bridge crossing the Adour River with four spans supported by stone piers. The piers rest on wooden pile foundations to ensure stability over the flowing water.
This bridge was designed in 1879 by Gustave Eiffel to replace an earlier wooden structure from the Napoleonic period that had been destroyed in 1875. A fourth span was added in 1901 to increase capacity.
This crossing shows how rivers were spanned in the late 19th century and reflects the engineering capabilities of that time. Visitors can see the craftsmanship in the stone piers and metal framework.
The bridge connects both sides of Cazères-sur-l'Adour and is easily walkable on foot or by bicycle. The best views of the structure come from the riverbank paths on both sides.
The bridge was originally built with only three spans but was enlarged with a fourth span within 25 years, showing its growing importance to the region. This expansion was a rare example of adapting to increased traffic demands at that time.
