Pont Saint-Martin, Metro bridge in Vaud, Switzerland
Pont Saint-Martin is a metro bridge in Vaud, Switzerland, that carries the M2 line over a road. The structure is 86 meters (282 feet) long and stands 5 meters (16 feet) high, with a concrete deck and metal railings.
The bridge was built in the early 2000s to support the new metro line. It has since become a key link in the city's public transport network.
Locals often use the bridge as a shortcut between neighborhoods, and the metro passing overhead is a familiar sight. The name Saint-Martin comes from the nearby church, and the bridge has become a small landmark for those who live around it.
The bridge is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets, and you can cross it safely on the pedestrian path. It is worth a quick look if you are using the metro or walking in the area, as it offers a clear view of the tracks and the road below.
The bridge is one of the few in the area designed specifically for a metro line, and its shallow arch gives it a low profile. From below, you can see the tracks curving gently as they cross the span.
