Passerelle Eiffel, Railway bridge monument in Bordeaux, France
The 509-meter metal bridge spans across the Garonne River with six masonry pillars and features a central arch design for maximum stability.
Built between 1858 and 1860, this railway bridge was Gustave Eiffel's first major project at age 26 as construction supervisor.
The bridge stands as a testament to 19th-century French engineering and received historical monument status in 2010, preventing its demolition.
The structure served train traffic until 2008 and currently undergoes transformation plans to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Garonne.
During construction, Gustave Eiffel personally rescued a worker who had fallen into the Garonne River, demonstrating his commitment to workplace safety.
