Bras de la Plaine Bridge

The Bras de la Plaine Bridge extends 305 meters across a deep gorge, featuring a main span of 280 meters supported by concrete trusses.

The bridge construction began in 2000 and reached completion in December 2002, marking substantial progress in Réunion's infrastructure development.

The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering recognized this structure with the Outstanding Structure Award in 2003.

The bridge deck includes two 1.35-meter-wide pedestrian walkways and two 1.10-meter-wide cycle paths alongside the main vehicular roadway.

The structure maintains a clearance of 110 meters below the deck, integrating prestressed composite truss technology in its construction.
