Pont de la Palombe, Steel bridge in Bordeaux, France
The Pont de la Palombe spans 180 meters across railway tracks south of Saint-Jean station, connecting the Saint-Germain Amédée and Armagnac districts.
The bridge construction began in 2018 as part of the Euratlantique project, representing the largest urban development outside Paris, with completion in July 2022.
The bridge name refers to the 'Palombe Bleue' night train service, reflecting the railway heritage of the Bordeaux region.
The structure features two bus lanes, two one-way car lanes, and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing traffic congestion near Saint-Jean station.
The 2,200-ton metal structure required specific engineering solutions for installation over active railway lines during construction phases.
