Grand Pont, Stone arch bridge in Lausanne, Switzerland
The Grand Pont extends for 175 meters across Lausanne, featuring multiple masonry vaults arranged in two levels with six arches below and nineteen above.
Constructed in 1844, the bridge underwent substantial modifications in 1891 with steel framework additions and received concrete bay windows during a 1933 renovation phase.
The Grand Pont holds the designation of Class B Swiss cultural property, marking its contribution to the architectural heritage of the Lausanne region.
The bridge functions as a central transportation route connecting eastern and western Lausanne, serving thousands of pedestrians and vehicles each day.
The 2022 rehabilitation introduced ultra-high performance fiber cement composite curbs to protect the structure against de-icing salt deterioration.
