Pont Butin

Pont Butin is a concrete road bridge spanning about 270 meters across the Rhone River, linking the districts of Vernier and Lancy together. It serves as a major transportation link in the Geneva area, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Architect Jules Jaeger designed and completed this bridge in 1927 as a key infrastructure project of the era. It reflects the period of modern transportation development across the Canton of Geneva.

The bridge received recognition in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property during February 2017, acknowledging its regional architectural importance.

You can cross this bridge on foot or drive across it, as it accommodates both types of movement. The structure is straightforward to access from both districts and remains in good working condition.

The bridge integrates modern construction techniques with specific regional engineering requirements, reflecting Swiss precision in infrastructure development.
