Pont de la Coulouvrenière, Arch bridge and tram crossing in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Pont de la Coulouvrenière extends 150 meters across the Rhône River, featuring two central arches of 40 meters each and a central pier with an opening.
The current stone-covered concrete structure replaced an earlier metal bridge in 1896, as the previous construction proved insufficient for supporting tram traffic.
The bridge name originates from a nearby culverin firing range, where this small cannon practice took place during earlier periods of Geneva's military preparations.
The structure accommodates both vehicle and tram traffic, with two 3.70-meter-wide sidewalks added in 1970 to enhance pedestrian access across the Rhône.
Vehicle traffic on the bridge decreased from 63,000 daily crossings in 1990 to 37,500 in 2006, indicating changes in urban mobility patterns.
