Pont des Arches, Stone bridge in central Liège, Belgium.

Pont des Arches is a stone arch bridge over the Meuse River in Liège, linking the city center to the Outremeuse district on the eastern bank. It carries both road and foot traffic and stands as one of the main crossings over the river in the city.

In 1034, Bishop Reginard had a seven-arch bridge built at this spot, making it one of the oldest known stone crossings in the region. Over the centuries, the original structure was replaced, and the current bridge took its place.

The bridge's name survives in Walloon as "li pont d's-Åtches". Its four roughly six-metre blue-hardstone statues on the piers depict episodes: Le Moyen Âge by Adolphe Wansart, La Résistance à l'occupant by Gustave Fontaine, La Révolution belge de 1830 by Alphonse Darville, and La Naissance de Liège by Marceau Gillard and Freddy Wybaux. Five bas-reliefs decorate the approaches, including Le Cheval Bayard by Louis Dupont.

The bridge sits in the heart of Liège and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. Since it carries a busy road, using the pedestrian walkways on the sides is the most comfortable way to cross, especially at peak times.

The 1947 bridge by Georges Dedoyard rests on two piers, each flanked by statues about six metres tall in blue hard stone. They depict Le Moyen Âge by Adolphe Wansart, La Résistance à l'occupant by Gustave Fontaine, La Révolution belge de 1830 by Alphonse Darville, and La Naissance de Liège by Marceau Gillard and Freddy Wybaux. Five bas-reliefs decorate the approaches, including Le Cheval Bayard by Louis Dupont.
