Passerelle de l'Homme de la Roche, Pedestrian bridge in La Croix-Rousse, Lyon, France
The metal bridge spans the Saône River, connecting Quai Pierre Scize to Quai Saint Vincent with its wooden deck painted in old pink.
The first bridge, built in 1895, survived World War II when resistance fighter Joseph Laval disarmed German explosives during heavy rain in September 1944.
The bridge honors Jean Kleberger, a German-born benefactor from Nuremberg who settled in Lyon in 1531 and contributed to the city's development.
The structure serves pedestrians and cyclists 24 hours a day, providing a connection between the 1st and 5th districts of Lyon.
The current bridge, installed in 1989, arrived fully assembled on a barge from Villefranche and replaced the original structure from 1895.
