Pont Mellah Slimane

The metal footbridge spans 125 meters across the Rhumel River, rising to a height of 107 meters above the water below.

Ferdinand Arnodin engineered this infrastructure project, which opened on April 12, 1925, connecting the train station to the old town center.

The bridge stands among several crossings in Constantine that demonstrate the engineering solutions required by the city's deep river gorges.

Pedestrians can access the bridge through an elevator from the old town, crossing a 2.4-meter-wide deck that experiences slight movement.

The structure represents the third major project by Arnodin, who specialized in suspension bridges and created innovative designs worldwide.
