Pont d'Aquitaine, Suspension bridge in Bordeaux, France

The Pont d'Aquitaine stretches 1767 meters across the Garonne River with two steel towers reaching 103 meters into the sky.

Construction of the bridge began in 1960 under Mayor Jacques Chaban-Delmas and completed in 1967 as the third bridge built north of Bordeaux.

The steel structure connecting Lormont and Bordeaux Lake represents a milestone in the development of French engineering and transportation infrastructure.

The bridge carries the A630 motorway with dedicated bicycle lanes, providing an essential link between both sides of the Garonne River.

From the bridge deck, elevated 58 meters above the water, travelers witness the meeting point between maritime and river traffic on the Garonne.
