Pont de Bercy, Arch and metro bridge in Paris, France.
Description
Pont de Bercy is an arch bridge crossing the Seine that links the 12th and 13th arrondissements of Paris. It features two levels of traffic: the lower deck accommodates vehicles and pedestrians, while the upper level carries metro trains.
History
The original Pont de Bercy was built in 1864 as a stone arch structure, replacing a toll bridge. In 1904, the structure was modified to accommodate the Paris Metro Line 6.
Culture
The bridge design combines two distinct architectural periods, with the original stone arches and the later concrete extension maintaining visual continuity.
Practical
Pedestrians and cyclists use the lower level safely and comfortably. The crossing is straightforward, and the bridge offers clear orientation points along the way.
Did you know?
An expansion in 1991 doubled the bridge width by adding a concrete structure covered in stone to match the original design. This solution demonstrates how modern traffic demands can be integrated into an existing structure.
