Pont de Liège, Cable-stayed bridge in Liège, Belgium
Pont de Liège is a cable-stayed bridge over the Meuse linking Angleur and Cointe, opened in June 2000. Its 70-metre pylon carries 22 stays supporting a 162-metre main span, while a 134-metre counterweight abutment forms the first part of the Kinkempois tunnel. The total length is 328 metres.
The cable-stayed bridge was designed by the engineering firm Greisch and opened in early June 2000 with the E40–E25 link, connecting Angleur to Cointe. Its 162-metre main span over the Meuse was launched from the right bank, and the 134-metre counterweight abutment forms the first part of the Kinkempois tunnel.
The bridge carries the A602 city motorway, part of the E25, through Liège, linking Angleur on the right bank with Cointe on the left. Its 134-metre counterweight abutment forms the first section of the Kinkempois tunnel, so drivers pass straight from the bridge into the tunnel.

The 162-metre span over the Meuse was launched by pushing it out from the right bank, and the 134-metre counterweight abutment behind the pylon forms the first section of the Kinkempois tunnel. The bridge carries 22 stay cables over the river span and 22 over the abutment.
