Pont Gustave-Flaubert, Vertical-lift bridge in Rouen, France.
The Pont Gustave-Flaubert extends 670 meters across the Seine River, with four supporting pylons reaching a height of 86 meters above the water level.
The construction of this engineering project started in June 2004, requiring a total investment of 137 million euros before its inauguration in September 2008.
The city residents selected the name through a public vote, dedicating the bridge to Gustave Flaubert, the French novelist who was born in Rouen.
The bridge features a lifting mechanism that raises the dual roadways to 55 meters above water level, allowing large vessels to access the Port of Rouen.
The structure accommodates 50,000 vehicles daily and operates its lifting mechanism approximately 30 times per year to permit passage of tall ships and cruise vessels.
