Pont des Arches, Stone bridge in central Liège, Belgium.
The Pont des Arches spans across the Meuse River with three reinforced concrete arches connecting the city center to the Outremeuse district.
The first documented bridge at this location dates back to 1034, when Bishop Reginard constructed a seven-arched structure that stood for four centuries.
The current bridge features decorative statues representing medieval themes, Belgian resistance movements, and elements of local Walloon traditions.
The bridge serves as a primary transportation route between central Liège and the eastern districts, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
In September 2024, a collision with a large barge caused one of the bridge's decorative statues to fall into the Meuse River.
