Mont Blanc Bridge

The Mont Blanc Bridge is a concrete structure that spans 252 meters across the water between the northern and southern parts of Geneva. The structure features multiple traffic lanes and pedestrian pathways for vehicles and foot traffic.

The structure opened in 1862 and created a necessary connection between the two sides of the city. It became important for developing north-south transportation routes throughout Geneva.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where locals and travelers move between the two sides of the city. People notice boats and water activities while making their journey across.

The bridge is accessible day and night for vehicles and pedestrians and sits near several public transportation stops. The best time to cross is usually outside rush hours when traffic is lighter.

Each side of the bridge carries different water: one side flows with river water from the Rhône while the other side contains lake water from Geneva. This makes it an interesting spot to observe where two different bodies of water meet.
