Pont Atlas, Liège, Concrete arch bridge in Liège, Belgium

The Pont Atlas stretches 315 meters across the Meuse River, connecting the districts of Coronmeuse, Droixhe, and Bressoux in Liège through reinforced concrete construction.

The current bridge replaced the Coronmeuse Bridge, which was constructed between 1927 and 1930 for the International Exhibition but was destroyed during World War II in 1940.

The bridge bears the name Atlas V in recognition of a tugboat that successfully navigated through German barriers on the Meuse River in 1917.

The structure functions as a primary transportation route in Liège, accommodating vehicles and pedestrians while linking residential areas to commercial districts.

A memorial on the bridge commemorates the January 3, 1917 military expedition of the Atlas V tugboat through enemy lines during World War I.
