Passerelle industrielle d'Ivry-Charenton, Industrial footbridge across Seine River in Charenton-le-Pont and Ivry-sur-Seine, France.
Description
The Passerelle industrielle d'Ivry-Charenton is a reinforced concrete footbridge stretching about 215 meters across the Seine with notable technical features. It connects the Quai Auguste-Deshaies in Ivry-sur-Seine to the Quai des Carrières in Charenton-le-Pont and accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists.
History
The footbridge was built between 1926 and 1929 as a project of the Ivry power station to carry electrical lines across the river. It emerged from practical industrial needs of the region while simultaneously enabling connection between the two banks.
Culture
The footbridge takes its name from the two towns it connects and serves as a meeting point between communities on either side of the river. Today, locals and visitors cross it regularly while appreciating views of the Seine and the surrounding landscape.
Practical
The crossing is accessible on foot or by bicycle, with access paths in good condition on both sides. Visitors should note that the bridge is relatively narrow and can become crowded during peak times.
Did you know?
The bridge was originally designed to carry electrical lines and still elegantly combines this industrial function with its use as a pedestrian path. This dual purpose makes it a rare example of a structure that skillfully unites infrastructure and public space.
