Passerelle Saucy, Footbridge in Liège, Belgium
The Passerelle Saucy is a modern footbridge connecting two banks of the Meuse River in Liège, built with steel and concrete construction. It spans between Rue de la Régence and Boulevard Saucy and serves pedestrians and cyclists crossing the river daily.
An original bridge built in 1880 was destroyed in 1940, after which the current structure was constructed in 1949 following World War II. This reconstruction formed part of the postwar rebuilding efforts across Liège.
The footbridge links neighborhoods on either side of the Meuse, serving as a daily crossing point for residents moving between different parts of the city. It functions as part of the urban pedestrian network that ties together various quarters of Liège.
The bridge is easy to access on foot or by bicycle and provides safe river crossing. Best access is from Rue de la Régence or Boulevard Saucy depending on which riverbank you are leaving.
The bridge currently has two supporting pillars in the river that are planned to be replaced with a single-span design to improve barge navigation. This planned upgrade will fundamentally change how the structure looks and functions.
