Bras de la Plaine Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Entre-Deux, Réunion, France.
The Bras de la Plaine Bridge is a cantilever structure made of concrete that spans a deep gorge on the island of Réunion. The bridge carries vehicle traffic along with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides.
The bridge was constructed in the early 2000s and completed an important road connection across the gorge. Its opening marked a major advancement in regional transportation infrastructure for the island.
The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering recognized this structure with the Outstanding Structure Award in 2003.
When crossing, stay on the designated pedestrian or cyclist paths which are clearly separated from the vehicle roadway. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when traffic is lighter and views are clearer.
The structure spans 110 meters above a deep gorge, creating a striking sense of height when crossing. For many visitors, the experience of crossing high above the valley floor becomes an unforgettable moment.
