Viaduc de la jonction, Railway bridge at confluence of Rhône and Arve rivers, Switzerland
The Viaduc de la Jonction stretches 218 meters across the meeting point of the Rhône and Arve rivers in Geneva, carrying two railway tracks and a footpath.
Constructed in 1945, this railway bridge remained exclusively dedicated to freight transportation until the Lancy-Pont-Rouge station opened its service in 2002.
The structure stands at a location called La Jonction, where the dark waters of the Rhône merge with the milky white flow of the Arve river.
The viaduct serves as a vital component of Geneva's transport infrastructure, connecting multiple rail lines while offering pedestrian access across the waterways.
From the bridge's walkway, observers can witness the distinct phenomenon of two differently colored rivers merging into a single stream below.
