Pont Albert Ier, Major bridge in central Liège, Belgium.

The Albert I Bridge spans 170 meters across the Meuse River with a main span of 125 meters and features reinforced concrete construction.

Originally built in 1866 as Commerce Bridge, it was reconstructed in 1957 by architect Georges Dedoyard following destruction during World War II.

The bridge displays public art installations including Monument to Liège Citizens who died for Freedom and the Equestrian Statue of King Albert I.

The structure incorporates a lower-level passage for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting to the RAVeL W7 pathway network along the river.

Between 1953 and 1963, a heliport near the bridge provided passenger and mail air connections between Liège and Brussels.
