Gottéron Bridge, Reinforced concrete arch bridge in Fribourg, Switzerland.

The Gottéron Bridge extends 151 meters across the valley, reaching a height of 76 meters with its double concrete arch structure.

The current bridge replaced a suspension bridge that experienced a fatal accident in 1919 when an overloaded truck crashed through its structure.

The bridge status as a Class A Swiss cultural property indicates its importance in the architectural development of Swiss infrastructure during the 1960s.

Located at coordinates 46.804389, 7.171862, this road bridge connects different sections of Fribourg while providing passage over the deep valley.
