Pont de Chancy

The concrete bridge stretches 124 meters across the Rhône River, connecting the municipalities of Chancy and Pougny at the France-Switzerland border.

Built in 1907, the bridge represents the last crossing point over the Rhône River within Swiss territory before the water flows into France.

The structure stands as an example of early 20th-century border architecture, with former customs stations positioned at both ends of the bridge.

The bridge serves both pedestrians and vehicles, facilitating regular movement between the French department of Ain and the Swiss canton of Geneva.

A water quality monitoring station near the bridge collects data about the Rhône River's condition at this critical international junction point.
